The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing a disease comprising the step detecting in a sample comprising antibodies from a patient an autoantibody binding to a polypeptide selected from the group comprising NSF, STX1B, DNM1 and VAMP2, a polypeptide comprising a polypeptide selected from the group comprising NSF, STX1B, DNM1 and VAMP2, or a variant thereof, a use of said polypeptide for the diagnosis of a disease, an autoantibody binding to a polypeptide selected from the group comprising NSF, STX1B, DNM1 and VAMP2, a use of the autoantibody for the diagnosis of a disease, a method for isolating an autoantibody binding to a polypeptide selected from the group comprising NSF, STX1B, DNM1 and VAMP2, a pharmaceutical composition or medical device comprising said polypeptide according to the present invention, a kit for the diagnosis of a disease comprising said polypeptide or said medical device and a use of said polypeptide or autoantibody for the manufacture of a kit or medical device.

Diagnosis of a neuroautoimmune disease

A method for diagnosing a disease by detecting an autoantibody that binds to flotillin1 and/or flotillin2 in a sample, a polypeptide comprising flotillin1 and/or flotillin2 or a variant thereof, which may be immobilized, a method of treating a disease by applying to a subject the polypeptide that binds to an autoantibody, an autoantibody binding to flotillin1 and/or flotillin2, a method for isolating the autoantibody, a pharmaceutical composition, a medical device and test kit comprising the polypeptide, are provided. A method for detecting the presence of an autoantibody is also provided.

Diagnosis of a neuroautoimmune disease comprising measuring autoantibodies to flotillin1 and/or flotillin2
