Human anti-GMI antibodies from patients with lower motor neuron disease or predominantly motor neuropathy recognize carbohydrate determinants shared by GM1 and related glycolipids and glycoproteins, but the identity of the antigens to which they bind in tissue is unknown. We examined the binding of
Low affinity anti-GM 1 IgM-antibodies are part of the normal repertoire of human plasma antibodies (Mizutamari et al.: J Neuroimmunol 50:215-220, 1994), a fact that is against the pathological role proposed for them in autoimmune diseases. Here we present evidence that these low affinity IgM-antibod
