Abstract
Antibodies persist months and years in blood. Chronic presence of low titers of blood circulating anti-NMDAR1 autoantibodies are sufficient to impair cognitive function in the integrity of the BBB in mice, suggesting potential cognitive damaging effects of low titers of blood circulating anti-NMDAR1 autoantibodies in the general human population and psychiatric patients. Investigation of anti-NMDAR1 autoantibodies against individual NMDAR1 antigenic epitopes may potentially provide risk biomarkers and therapeutic targets for development of immunotherapy as a precision medicine for psychiatric patients in the future.
