Sera from 7 patients with paraneoplastic opsoclonus were examined for antineuronal autoantibodies. An antibody against neuronal nuclei was found in serum from a patient with breast cancer, opsoclonus, and ataxia. This antibody recognized 53- to 61-kDa and 79- to 84-kDa antigens in immunoblots of neurons. Antineuronal antibodies were not found in other patients with paraneoplastic opsoclonus.
