Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The importance of B-cells in neuroimmunology is highlighted by the role of antibodies in different immune-mediated nervous system diseases, including myasthenia gravis, autoimmune encephalitis, and multiple sclerosis (MS). Antibodies can be a marker of viral infection, such as those against Epstein–Barr virus in MS, or pathogenic, as highlighted by autoimmune encephalitis and myasthenia gravis.
In this Special Issue, we would like to highlight the importance of B-cell function and antibodies in neuroimmunology, particularly in progressive MS.
Suitable topics include but are not limited to MS, progressive MS antibodies, B-cell function, myasthenia gravis, and autoimmune encephalitis.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English.
