Abstract

Research into antibody-mediated disease, in response to immune dysfunction or to tumour development, has rapidly expanded in recent years. Antibodies binding to neuroreceptors can cause psychiatric features, including psychosis, in a minority of patients as well as neurological features. The responsiveness of some of these cases to immunotherapy supports the hypothesis that antibody-associated mechanisms play a role in the pathogenesis of psychotic diseases. The purpose of this chapter is to review autoantibodies that are most likely to be relevant for patients with psychotic symptoms. Herein, we describe receptor structure and mechanism of action, clinical and psychiatric features for the growing number of neuronal surface antibodies, including those to the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. The identification of a subgroup of patients with psychiatric features having antibody-mediated disease highlights the importance of considering the diagnosis, particularly in those patients presenting with a first episode of psychosis.
