abstract：:IgM anti-GM1 antibodies occur with increased frequency in the serum of patients with multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN). We tested the ability of serum IgM from patients with MMN to bind to GM1 ganglioside covalently bound to secondary amino groups on ELISA plates (Co-GM1). The Co-GM1 technique detected high titer (> 1...
