Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Anti-NMDA receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is a devastating disease with severe psychiatric and neurological symptoms believed to be caused by pathogenic autoantibodies that bind to the N-terminal domain (NTD) of the NMDAR GluN1 subunit (GluN1-NTD) crosslinking adjacent NMDARs and driving their internalization. Here we describe ART5803, a humanized monovalent antibody, as a potential therapy for anti-NMDAR encephalitis. ART5803 binds with a high affinity (K D = 0.69 nM) to GluN1-NTD without affecting NMDAR activity or inducing internalization. ART5803 blocks NMDAR internalization induced by patients’ pathogenic autoantibodies, and restores NMDAR function. A marmoset animal model was developed using sustained intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of a human pathogenic autoantibody to evoke behavioral and motor abnormalities. ART5803 ICV infusion or peripheral injections rapidly reversed these abnormalities. These data, together with the pharmacokinetic profile in cynomolgus monkeys, indicate a therapeutic potential for intravenous (IV)-administered ART5803 as a fast-acting and efficacious option for anti-NMDAR encephalitis.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
