Monoclonal IgM cold agglutinins with anti-Pr1d specificity in a patient with peripheral neuropathy
A patient with a demyelinating sensory motor polyneuropathy secondary to IgM paraproteinaemia is reported. The paraprotein binds to the gangliosides GD1b, GT1b, GQ1b and GD3, all of which contain disialosyl groups with the sequence NeuAc α 2-8NeuAc &
