This paper describes an amazing work and links the CD4 T cell responses against H1N1 with those against orexin. This paper has received a lot of mainstream media attention (see here for example) where it has been described as the demonstration that narcolepsy is an autoimmune disease. Although the study provides interesting data re-inforcing the autoimmune hypothesis of narcolepsy, it does not demonstrate so and it's not the first study to suggest the autoimmune hypothesis, as authors correctly point in the discussion. A brief comment summarizing the study and providing context to those mainstream media headlines has been published here
