The crucial role of Campylobacter jejuni genes in anti-ganglioside antibody induction in Guillain-Barré syndrome
2004-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Molecular mimicry of Campylobacter jejuni lipo-oligosaccharides (LOS) with \\n gangliosides in nervous tissue is considered to induce cross-reactive \\n antibodies that lead to Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), an acute \\n polyneuropathy. To determine whether specific bacterial genes are crucial \\n for the biosynthesis of ganglioside-like structures and the induction of \\n anti-ganglioside anti...
