Co-localization studies with serum IgG of the patient (A) and commercial kelch-like protein 11 (KLHL11) antibody (B). Reactivity (red) of serum IgG of the patient with HEK293 cells expressing KLHL11 (A), reactivity (green) of a commercial KLHL11 Ab (B), and significant co-localization (yellow) with patient’s IgG and the commercial antibody (C) (original magnification 20x). Immunolabeling (brown color, D, E) of frozen rat brain sections with sera of KLHL11 antibody positive patient. Serum IgG of the patient showed cytoplasmic staining in neurons of deep cerebellar nuclei (D) and brainstem (E) (original magnification 20x).
