Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is often associated with serum antibodies to glycoconjugates such as GM1 and GQ1b. The pathogenic role of these antibodies and other serum factors has not yet been clarified. We have investigated the effect of serum, plasma filtrate, and highly purified IgG and IgM from
Among eight sural nerve biopsies from patients with the Guillain-Bar& syndrome (GBS), demyelination was ob- served in five and endoneural mononuclear cell infiltrates in three. Receptors for the activated third component of complement (C3b) were detected within the nerve fascicles. The receptor acti
Serum from 7 patients who had acute-phase Guillain-Barre syndrome with high anti-peripheral nerve myelin antibody activity (54 to 210 units/ml) was compared with serum from 3 patients in the recovery phase (0 to 17 unitsiml) and serum from 7 disease control subjects (0 to 24 unidml) and 7 normal con
