PCR-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis of Campylobacter jejuni Genes Involved in Lipooligosaccharide Biosynthesis Identifies Putative Molecular Markers for Guillain-Barré Syndrome

Molecular mimicry of Campylobacter jejuni lipooligosaccharides (LOS) by gangliosides in peripheral nerve tissue probably triggers the Guillain-Barré syndrome due to the induction of cross-reactive antibodies. PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of C. jejuni genes involved in the bi...
