Immunopathological Significance of Ovarian Teratoma in Patients with Anti-N-Methyl-<smlcap>D</smlcap>-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis

Abstract

Differences in lymphocyte infiltration in ovarian teratomas between anti-NMDAR encephalitis and non-encephalitis patients suggest the immunological importance of the ovarian teratoma as the site of antigen presentation in anti-NMDAR encephalitis.
