The anti-Tr immune response is associated with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) and Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL). One case series has reported that the Delta/Notch-like epidermal growth factor-related receptor (DNER) is the actual target for anti-Tr antibodies, but this result has not been replicated. To describe a patient with anti-Tr and confirm that DNER is the autoantigen for a series of patients with anti-Tr. Observational study and analysis of biological samples for antibodies to DNER at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. We examined a cerebrospinal fluid sample from 1 patient with anti-Tr and serum and/or cerebrospinal fluid samples from 5 other patients with anti-Tr. Transfection of HEK293T and HELA cells to express DNER coupled to an enhanced green fluorescent protein tag using a plasmid previously used to detect human DNER antibodies. 36-year-old man with pareneoplastic cerebellar degeneration and anti-Tr underwent treatment with corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin, resulting in clinical improvement prior to chemotherapy. Despite close oncological follow up, a biopsy and PET/CT scanning, he was not diagnosed with HL until 6 months after symptom onset. The cerebrospinal fluid from this patient reacted with cells transfected to express DNER, as did CSF and/or sera from 5 other patients with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration, HL, and anti-Tr. Only 4 of 5 sera samples reacted to permeabilized cells enough to be distinguished from background, but all 5 sera samples convincingly labelled live cells, which had considerably less background. All 6 control sera samples and 1 sera sample from a patient previously labeled as anti-Tr (but without HL or cerebellitis) did not recognize DNER. This case demonstrates the importance of testing for the anti-Tr immune response in patients with cerebellar degeneration. The strong association of anti-Tr with HL requires careful surveillance for this tumor. We also confirm that DNER is the target antigen of the Tr immune response. Screening for DNER antibodies against living transfected cells may be offer an improved signal-to-noise characteristic compared to immunostaining of fixed, permeabilized cells.
