1 | In addition, a subset of patients with neuroborreliosis (29%) and syphilis (59%) had IgM reactivity to gangliosides with a Gal(beta 1-3) GalNac terminal sequence (GM1, GD1b, and asialo GM1). | Gangliosides | UDP-GlcNAc:betaGal beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 2 | Homo sapiens |
2 | Given the clinical associations of patients with neuroborreliosis and syphilis with IgM reactivity to gangliosides sharing the Gal(beta 1-3) GalNac terminus, we suggest that these antibodies could represent a response to injury in neurological disease or a cross reactive event caused by spirochetes. | Gangliosides | UDP-GlcNAc:betaGal beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 2 | Homo sapiens |
