Figure 4Inhibition of IgM binding to lipid-coated membranes. Four aliquots of CSF from a patient presenting OCMB against PC were analyzed by IEF. Proteins were transferred to: an uncoated nitrocellulose membrane (
1), a PC-coated nitrocellulose membrane (
2), a PC-coated nitrocellulose membrane embedded with a solution of PC that inhibits binding of specific IgM to the antigen-coated membrane (
3), and a PC-coated nitrocellulose membrane embedded with a solution of gangliosides that does not produce any inhibition (
