Molecular Mimicry between Gangliosides and Lipopolysaccharides of<i>Campylobacter jejuni</i>Isolated from Patients with Guillain‐Barré Syndrome and Miller Fisher Syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Some patients developed Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) after being given bovine gangliosides. Patients with GBS subsequent to Campylobacter jejuni enteritis frequently have IgG antibody to GM1 ganglioside. Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS), a variant of GBS, is associated with IgG antibody to GQ1b ganglioside. The existence of molecular mimicry between GM1 and lipopolysaccharide of C. jejuni isolated from a GBS patient...
