Ganglioside-like epitopes of lipopolysaccharides from Campylobacter jejuni (PEN 19) in three isolates from patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome

Sera from patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) frequently have anti-GM1 antibody.
We earlier showed that an lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Campylobacter jejuni (PEN 19)
isolated from a GBS patient has a GM1 ganglioside-like structure. Aspinall et
al.(Biochemistry, 61 (1994) 335–337) reported that OH 4382 has an LPS that bears a GD3
ganglioside-like structure and that OH 4384 has an LPS that bears a GT1a-like structure;
both strains were isolated from patients with GBS. They also suggested a GM1-like structure …
