LM1 is localized in human peripheral nerve myelin. Antibodies to ganglioside complexes (GSCs) have been reported in Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). We investigated IgG antibodies to LM1 and two GSCs (GM1 and LM1, or GD1b and LM1) in the sera of each 40 patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and CBS. using ELISA. We detected anti-LM1 antibody in five with CBS and seven with CIDP; anti-GM1/LM1 antibody in three with CBS and one with CIDP; and anti-GD1b/LM1 antibody in two with CIDP. Antibodies to LM1 and LM1-containing GSCs may be among the targets for autoimmunity in CBS and CIDP. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
