Detecting phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A)-IgG in cerebrospinal fluid specimens
Evaluation of autoimmune/paraneoplastic neurological syndromes among patients presenting with movement disorders and encephalopathy
Testing Algorithm
If the indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) pattern suggests phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) IgG, then the PDE10A antibody IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

Negative
Interpretation
A positive result is consistent with phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) autoimmunity that manifests with autoimmune movement disorders or encephalitis. A paraneoplastic cause should be considered.
Method Description
The patient's sample is tested by a standardized immunofluorescence assay that uses a composite frozen section of mouse cerebellum, kidney, and gut tissues. After incubation with sample and washing, fluorescein-conjugated goat-antihuman IgG is applied. Neuron-specific autoantibodies are identified by their characteristic fluorescence staining patterns. Samples that are scored positive for any neuronal nuclear or cytoplasmic autoantibody are titrated to an endpoint. Interference by coexisting non-neuron-specific autoantibodies can usually be eliminated by serologic absorption.(Honorat JA, Komorowski L, Josephs KA, et al.
