IVIG blocks complement deposition mediated by anti-GM1 antibodies in multifocal motor neuropathy

Yuki, N; Watanabe, H; Nakajima, T; Späth, P J (2011). IVIG blocks complement deposition mediated by anti-GM1 antibodies in multifocal motor neuropathy. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry, 82(1), pp. 87-91. London: BMJ Publishing Group 10.1136/jnnp.2010.205856

Full text not available from this repository.

The pathogenesis of multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) has yet to be established. MMN patients often carry anti-GM1 IgM antibodies, suggesting an autoimmune process involving complement. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the first line treatment, but its action mechanism is unknown.
