Interpretation
Gangliosides are a group of glycosphingolipids which are enriched neuronal plasma membranes and are involved in signal transduction. Antibodies against many different types of gangliosides are associated with sensor and motor neuropathies. Antibodies against multiple gangliosides can often be detected simultaneously due to cross-reactivity as result of their high molecular similarity. Low levels of antibodies against gangliosides may occur without disease association and may be transiently seen after infections.

Tolkning
Gangliosider är en grupp glykosfingolipider som är anrikade neuronala plasmamembran där de bl.a. har betydelse för signaltransduktion. Antikroppar mot många olika typer av gangliosider är associerade med motoriska och sensorimotoriska neuropatier. Antikroppar mot flera gangliosider kan ofta påvisas samtidigt vilket beror på korsreaktivitet eftersom det är stor molekylär likhet mellan olika gangliosider. Låga nivåer av antikroppar mot gangliosider kan förekomma utan koppling till sjukdom och kan ses övergående efter infektioner.
