Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) play obligatory roles in diverse physiological functions. Pathological conditions leading to changes in their biophysical properties and expression levels may cause malfunctions of VGCC-mediated activities, resulting in disease states. It is believed that change
Anti-GM1 antibodies, frequently found in the serum of patients with Guillain-BarrΓ© syndrome (GBS), have been suggested to interfere with axonal function. We report that IgG anti-GM1 antibodies, raised in rabbits, can reversibly block the voltage-gated Na(+) channels of nerve cells, thus causing a re
Antibodies to GM 1 ganglioside are found in some patients with the Guillain-Barre Β΄syndrome and multifocal motor neuropathy, and may alter neuronal excitability. We measured voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) function by 22 Na + influx in a motor neuronal cell line (NSC19) in which we demonstrated
