## Abstract The role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and cytokines in the pathogenesis of Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS) largely remains unknown. We studied the role of MMP‐2, MMP‐9, tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α), and interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) in disease progression and recovery of patients with

Complement-king antibodies to peripheral nerve myelin (anti-PNM Ab) can be detected in the serum of patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). Kinetics of these antibodies can be correlated with the changing clinical course; the appearance of activation products of the terminal complement cascade
The mixed haemagglutination technique was used to demonstrate IgG antibodies to peripheral nerve tissue in sera from patients with the Guillain-Barré syndrome. The clinical effect and the effect on the antibodies of plasma exchange were examined in 18 patients. Neurological examination with muscle t
