| Research Abstract |
To clarify the pathogenesis of anti-NMDAR encephalitis, bovine ovaries and ova were examined. Immunohistochemical examinations revealed NR2B immunoreactivity in the cytoplasm of oocytes in ovary and in that of isolated ovum. In SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting analysis of ovarian tissues and collected ova two clear bands of NR1 and NR2B immunoreactivity were shown. Using these protein fractions extracted from fresh ovaries and collected ova we chemically identified five different peptides: SPFGRFK, KNLQDR, GVEDALVSLK, QPTVAGAPK, NEVMSSK. The former 2 are consistent with the partial sequences of NR1, and the latter 3 correspond to those of NR2A, NR2B and NR2C, respectively. The presence of NMDAR in normal oocytes is very helpful in explaining why young females are mainly involved in this encephalitis.
