Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We studied pathogenic roles of anti-glycolipid antibodies in Guillain-Barre; syndrome (GBS), which showed a positive correlation between the antibody activities and complement-activation capacity. Clinical analyses of GBS with autonomic dysfunction revealed that patients with dysautonomia were characterized by cranial nerve deficits, severe disability with frequent artificial ventilation, and electrodiagnostic findings indicative of demyelination. Fluctuating hypertension and vesicorectal disturbance were most frequent autonomic symptoms. Antibodies to neurofascin (NF) 155 were positive in 10% of GBS patients without anti-glycolipid antibodies, although the IgG subclass of anti-NF155 was IgG2. Ten percent of patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy had IgG4 anti-NF155 antibodies, who were featured by younger onset, tremor, prominent high levels of cerebrospinal fluid protein, and negative results of anti-glycolipid antibodies.
