Abstract
⺠Anti-ganglioside antibodies are found in neuropathies, AMAN, AMSAN, or ASAN. ⺠Anti-GD1a antibody disrupts nodes of Ranvier and induces nerve conduction block. ⺠Anti-GD1b antibodies disrupt nodes in sensory nerves and cause ataxia. ⺠Anti-GM1 antibodies attack primarily motor but occasionally sensory nodes as well. ⺠Nodal disruption may be a common mechanism in AMAN, AMSAN, and ASAN.
