Guillain-Barré syndrome with IgM antibody to the ganglioside GalNAc-GD1a.
description:
In patients with Guillian-Barre syndrome subsequent to gastrointestinal (mostly C. jejuni) infection with positive IgM and negative IgG to GalNAc-GD1a, IgM class antibodies to GM2 ganglioside were detected. In a preabsorption experiment, the GM2 ganglioside was able to absorb 21% of the reactivity to GalNAc-GD1a, confirming the cross-reactivity among the two gangliosides is detected but to a small extent in this group.
