    J Autoimmun 32:24-32. 2009
    ..We conclude that GAD65-specific T cells and clonally expanded GAD65-specific B cells coexist intrathecally, where they may collaborate in the synthesis of GAD65 IgG...

    Eur J Neurol 15:973-80. 2008
    ..Persistent intrathecal production of IgG autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65 IgG) and oligoclonal IgG of undetermined specificity has been reported in stiff person syndrome (SPS)...

    ..Activated CD4(+) T cells specific for glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 also induced apoptosis, showing that killing does not depend on cognate interaction between T cells and target cells but rather on the activation status of the T cells...
