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...
