Autoantibody pathogenicity in a multifocal motor neuropathy induced pluripotent stem cell–derived model
1 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We investigated the pathogenicity of immunoglobulin M (IgM) anti-GM1 antibodies in serum from patients with multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) using human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons (MNs). METHODS: iPSCs were generated from fibroblasts and differentiated into MNs. We studied the binding of IgM to MNs, their complement-activating properties, and effects on structural...
