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 biosynthesis of LOS demonstrated that specific genes were associated with the expression of ganglioside mimics and the development of neuropathy.
空肠弯曲菌脂寡糖(LOS)与周围神经组织中的神经节苷脂存在分子模拟,可能通过诱导交叉反应性抗体引发吉兰-巴雷综合征。对参与LOS生物合成的空肠弯曲菌基因进行的聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性分析表明,特定基因与神经节苷脂模拟物的表达及神经病变的发生有关。
