Abstract
Serum IgG in a patient with chronic polyneuropathy after Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection reacted with ganglioside GM1, GD1b and asialo-GM1 on thin-layer chromatograms using an immunostaining technique as well as an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, suggesting that the galactosyl (β1-3)N-acetylgalactosaminyl moiety could be a target antigen in this patient. Serum IgG reacting with these glycolipids may be involved in the pathogenesis of both motor and sensory neuropathies in this patient.Keywords
