Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the major glycolipid in myelin was used as a cell surface marker for cultured rat oligodendrocytes, the glial cells responsible for making myelin in the central nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Campylobacter jejuni infection and Guillain-Barré syndrome.
TL;DR: Infection with C. jejuni often precedes the Guillain-Barré syndrome and is associated with axonal degeneration, slow recovery, and severe residual disability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogenesis of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
TL;DR: Strong evidence supports an important role for antibodies to gangliosides in pathogenesis of Guillain-Barré syndrome and attempts to match the subtypes of GBS to the fine specificity of anti-ganglioside antibodies and to functional effects in experimental models continue but have not yet fully explained the pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic and biochemical evidence of a Campylobacter jejuni capsular polysaccharide that accounts for Penner serotype specificity
TL;DR: The presence of the high‐molecular‐weight LPS in all C. jejuni strains tested is demonstrated and it is shown that this LPS is biochemically and genetically unrelated to LOS and is similar to group II and group III capsular polysaccharides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti‐ganglioside GM1 antibodies in guillain‐barré syndrome and their relationship to Campylobacter jejuni infection
TL;DR: The presence of Cj infection is more important than anti‐GM1 postivity in determining the extent of axonal involvement and, hence, prognosis, and a search should be made for other properties of CJ infection that would account for its relationship to axonal degeneration.
