Super-resolution of nodal and paranodal disruption in anti-pan-neurofascin-associated autoimmune nodopathy by Vinicius da Cruz Neris Geßner, Vinicius da Cruz Neris Geßner, Janis Theobald Linke, Janis Theobald Linke, Thomas-Otavio Peulen, Luise Appeltshauser, Claudia Sommer, Dirk Brämer, Christian Geis, Katrin Gertrud Heinze, Kathrin Doppler

“…Conventional diagnostic tools, including fluorescence microscopy, often miss subtle alterations at the ultrastructural level.MethodsWe utilized direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM), a super-resolution fluorescence imaging technique, to assess the nanoscale architecture of nodal, paranodal, and cytoskeletal axonal proteins.ResultWhile conventional fluorescence microscopy revealed severe paranodal and nodal damage in 14% of the nodes, with 86% appearing normal at first glance, the super-resolved images revealed a decreased neurofascin-155 and Caspr-1 density, but preserved colocalization of these adhesion proteins in paranodes that initially seemed normal. …”
