Research progress of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibody

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antibody is an autoimmune encephalitis antibody associated with Anti-NMDAR encephalitis. Since the discovery of the antibody in 2007, the basic research and clinical application of the antibody in the field of neuroimmunology have gradually increased. This article reviews the progress of anti-NMDAR antibody overview, the relationship between anti-NMDAR antibody and encephalitis, and the laboratory detection of anti-NMDAR antibody, so as to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Key words: Receptors, N-methyl-D-aspartate; Autoantibodies; Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis
