Abstract excerpt

Carbohydrate epitopes of glycoconjugates are expressed on sensory neurons of dorsal root ganglion (DRG). A possible role of antibodies directed at carbohydrate determinants of the glycoconjugates has been suggested in some patients with sensory neuropathy. We investigated expression of blood grou...
