the role of autoantibody and immune complexes in the pathogenesis of Guillain-Barré syndrome

Autor(es): Cook S D,Dowling P C


Resumo: Evidence that Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) may be caused, at least in part, by antibodies to nerve tissue or soluble immune complexes is reviewed. Although insufficient proof exists at present to confirm a causal relationship between humoral factors and GBS, converging lines of evidence support this possibility.
