• CDR2L Is the Major Yo Antibody Target in Paraneoplastic Cerebellar Degeneration 

      Kråkenes, Torbjørn; Herdlevær, Ida Ajvazi; Raspotnig, Margrethe; Haugen, Mette; Schubert, Manja; Vedeler, Christian A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The pathogenesis of Yo‐mediated paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) is unclear. We applied cerebrospinal fluid and serum from PCD patients as well as CDR2 and CDR2L antibodies to neuronal tissue, cancer cell lines, ...
    • Development and Optimization of a Multilayer Rat Purkinje Neuron Culture 

      Uggerud, Ida Margrethe; Kråkenes, Torbjørn; Hirai, Hirokazu; Vedeler, Christian Alexander; Schubert, Manja (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Elucidation of the mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases of the cerebellum has been hampered by the lack of robust single cell models to study Purkinje neurons and replicate at the same time in vivo features. ...
    • Localization of CDR2L and CDR2 in paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration 

      Herdlevær, Ida Ajvazi; Kråkenes, Torbjørn; Schubert, Manja; Vedeler, Christian A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Objective: Identify the subcellular location and potential binding partners of two cerebellar degeneration‐related proteins, CDR2L and CDR2, associated with anti‐Yo‐mediated paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration. Methods: ...
    • A method for dierentiating human induced pluripotent stem cells toward functional cardiomyocytes in 96‐well microplates 

      Balafkan, Novin; Mostafavi, Sepideh; Schubert, Manja; Siller, Richard; Liang, Xiao; Sullivan, Gareth; Bindoff, Laurence (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The capacity of pluripotent stem cells both for self-renewal and to differentiate into any cell type have made them a powerful tool for studying human disease. Protocols for efficient differentiation towards cardiomyocytes ...
    • Paraneoplastic CDR2 and CDR2L antibodies affect Purkinje cell calcium homeostasis 

      Schubert, Manja; Panja, Debabrata; Haugen, Mette; Bramham, Clive R.; Vedeler, Christian A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12)
      Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) is characterized by loss of Purkinje cells (PCs) associated with progressive pancerebellar dysfunction in the presence of onconeural Yo antibodies. These antibodies recognize ...
