The present invention concerns subject matter connected to or making use of IgLON5, IgLON5 fragments and variants of IgLON5 and IgLON5-fragments. In particular the present invention relates to a use of a polypeptide comprising one or more sequences of IgLON5, an IgLON5-fragment or a variant thereof for the diagnosis of a disease, in vitro methods for diagnosing such a disease, a polypeptide comprising one or more sequences of IgLON5, an IgLON5-fragment or a variant thereof or a nucleic acid encoding said polypeptide for use in the treatment of a disease, a pharmaceutical composition comprising such polypeptide, a method for treating such a disease, an autoantibody binding to IgLON5, an IgLON5-fragment or a variant thereof, a method for isolating such autoantibody, a medical or diagnostic device comprising such autoantibody or such polypeptide and a test kit for the diagnosis of a disease, which test kit comprises such autoantibody and/or such polypeptide.

A lipocalin-type prostaglandin D2 synthase (L-PGDS) production promoting agent, more specifically an L-PGDS production promoting agent in pericytes or ischemia-induced multipotent stem cells (iSCs) dedifferentiated from pericytes. A substance having an L-PGDS production promoting action is contained in an extract from inflamed tissues inoculated with vaccinia virus. An L-PGDS production promoting agent is highly useful as a prophylactic, therapeutic or relapse prophylactic agent for a disease in which the effect by promotion of L-PGDS expression is expected to be effective, including a cerebrovascular disorder such as cerebral infarction, dementia such as Alzheimer's disease, or a sleep disorder.

The disclosure relates to novel epitopes specific for narcolepsy and their uses in methods for evaluating a subject for narcolepsy, in medical and diagnostic devices and in therapy.
