“…25 However, we observed in this study IgM deposits not strictly colocalized with MAG, particularly on the basement membrane of the Schwann cells and in compact myelin. These results confirmed previous studies 3,18 showing that anti-MAG IgM antibodies are directed against additional molecules involving other HNK-1-containing components of the basement membrane of myelinating Schwann cells. These HNK-1-containing epitopes could belong to fibronectin, L1, J1/ tenascin, 16 some integrins 19 or sulfoglucuronyl, 12 and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans.…”
