DIAGNOSTIC METHOD AND THERAPY

The invention relates to a method of identifying patients who are positive for CASPR2 autoantibodies which are predicted to respond to immunotherapy, the method comprising i) obtaining a sample from a subject having autoantibodies against CASPR2; and ii) screening for the presence of the allele HLA DRB1*11:01. The invention also relates to one or more novel isolated peptides, wherein the peptide comprises the sequence of any of Seq ID no: 1 to Seq ID no: 57 or a sequence having at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% or more sequence identity with one of Seq ID no 1 to 7, preferably with one of Seq ID no 40 to 57..
