In the late 1980s, scientists discovered for the first time autoantibodies that are associated with neurological diseases, first and foremost anti-Hu, anti-Ri and anti-Yo. Since then, test systems for these antibodies have become established in diagnostics and have enabled many life-saving medical findings.
