Abstract

We investigated serological immune responses against three major peripheral nerve myelin constituents in patients with immune-mediated neuropathies. Connexin 32 (Cx32), myelin protein zero (MPZ, P(0)) and peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) were produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells. From a panel of 25 Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and 24 chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) patients, only two patients showed reactivity towards Cx32 and P(0)
