Abstract
We examined the antibodies against Helicobacter pylori proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 7 patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). Crude H. pylori antigens, fractionated heat shock protein (HSP), and urease B (UB) from H. pylori antigens were separated by SDS-PAGE. With Western blot analysis, four of seven CSF samples had several IgG antibodies against H. pylori proteins, including HSP and UB. No cross reactivity against Campylobacter jejuni was observed. These antibodies may be involved in the immune responses of patients with GBS.
