Abstract
Antiganglioside antibodies form an important component of the innate and adaptive B cell repertoire, where they provide antimicrobial activity through binding encapsulated bacterial glycans. In an aberrant role, they target peripheral nerve gangliosides to induce autoimmune nerve injury. An important characteristic of antiganglioside antibodies is their ability to selectively recognize highly defined glycan structures. Since sialylated and sulfated glycans often share lectin recognition patterns, we here explored the possibility that certain antiganglioside antibodies might also bind 3-
