CNTNAP1 and meningitis: We found the meningeal thickness, the levels of PMN numbers and glucose concentration in CSF were at similar levels in the rats injected with Caspr1(203–355) peptides that developed to meningitis (n = 6), compared to the rats with meningitis in control group injected with GST alone (n = 14) (Supplementary Fig. 5B–D).
