The role of antiglycolipid antibodies in peripheral neuropathies

Curr Opin Neurol. 2000 Oct;13(5):583-8. doi: 10.1097/00019052-200010000-00013.

Abstract

The role of antiglycolipid antibodies in peripheral neuropathy continues to be defined in terms of clinical-serological associations and innovative experimental work establishing the role of these antibodies in pathogenesis. The present review focuses on the major developments in this field over the past 12 months.
