Autoimmunity in paraneoplastic neurological disorders1This meeting was held at Somerville College, Oxford, April 6-7, 1997.1

Antibodies to neuronal antigens are found in a range of different neurological disorders, both central and peripheral, and often indicate the presence of particular underlying tumours. This conference and workshop was an opportunity to discuss the clinical associations of these antibodies, the relevance of new antibody specificities, and to establish protocols for their detection.
