Overview
Voltage-Gated Potassium Channel (VGKC) antibodies (predominately Anti-LGI1 and Anti-CASPR2) are associated with paraneoplastic neurological syndromes and limbic encephalitis.
Autoimmune encephalitis is a debilitating inflammatory disorder of the brain causing various neurological signs and symptoms. VGKCs are proteins consisting of - Leucine-rich glioma inactivated protein 1(LGI1) & Contactin-associated protein 2 (CASPR2), responsible for controlling the cell membrane potential; development of antibodies against these proteins can cause Morvan syndrome, epilepsy and limbic encephalitis (short memory loss, psychiatric symptoms). These antibodies may also be associated with certain types of tumours.

This test is performed for patients suspected of suffering from nervous system disorders which are of autoimmune origin.
Voltage-Gated Potassium Channel (VGKC) antibodies (predominately Anti-LGI1 and Anti-CASPR2) are associated with paraneoplastic neurological syndromes and limbic encephalitis. These antibodies may also be found in other conditions such as acquired neurmyotonia, painful neuropathy, Morvan's syndrome, and rare tumors (eg, thymoma, small-cell lung cancer). This indirect fluorescent antibody assay utilizes LGI1 and CASPR2 transfected cell lines for the detection and semi-quantification of autoantibodies. Sensitivity is improved when CSF is tested along with serum for detection of antibodies.
