Carbohydrate mimicry of Campylobacter jejuni lipooligosaccharide is critical for the induction of anti-GM1 antibody and neuropathy.
description:
The ganglioside was obtained commercially. It is derived from bovine brain.
The presence of a GM1-like moiety on the lipooligosaccharide (LOS) of C. jejuni HB9313 is inferred by the ability of the antisera to generate anti-GM1 antibodies, while a galE mutant of the same strain fails to induce the anti-GM1 antibodies. Also, abnormality of sciatic-nerve teased fibers from animals sensitized with C. jejuni HB9313 was significantly higher than from animals immunized with the galE mutant.
