Effects of phospholipids on antiganglioside antibody reactivity in GBS
Autor(es): Hirakawa Minako,Morita Daiji,Tsuji Shoji,Kusunoki Susumu
Resumo: Serum antibody activities to mixtures of a ganglioside and various phospholipids were compared with those to a ganglioside alone in 30 anti-GM1 IgG-positive GBS patients and 30 anti-GQ1b IgG-positive Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) patients. Anti-GM1-positive sera had higher antibody reactivities against a mixture of GM1 and several phospholipids including PA, PI and PS, than against GM1 alone. In contrast, in case of anti-GQ1b antibody, no phospholipid provided significant enhancement. Sphingomyelin provided decrease of the activity for both anti-GM1 and anti-GQ1b IgG. The effects of phospholipids must be considered to determine the pathogenetic role of antiganglioside antibodies in GBS and MFS.
