摘要
Anti-galactocerebroside (GalC) antibodies are reported to be present in GBS patients with preceding Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection. We investigated the presence of anti-GalC reactivity in serum of a large group of GBS patients using ELISA and compared this with healthy controls and individuals with an uncomplicated MP infection. Anti-GalC antibody reactivity was present in 12% of the GBS patients. Furthermore, anti-GalC antibodies were associated with NIP infections, a relatively mild form of the disease and demyelinating features. Anti-GalC antibodies cross-reacted with NIP antigen. In conclusion, anti-GalC antibodies in GBS patients may be induced by molecular mimicry with MP. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
