Autoantibodies from recovered Guillain-Barre syndrome patients exhibit altered effector functions that prevent subsequent neuron degeneration

This study shows that some GBS patients retain anti-ganglioside antibodies years after recovery, which no longer damage neurons but may still offer protection against C. jejuni.

Multi-factorial regulatory networks of placental antibody transfer by Fc receptors and maternal IgG Fc characteristics are modulated by clinical covariate profiles

The paper identifies multi-factorial regulatory networks governing placental antibody transfer, showing how Fc receptor expression, IgG subclass, and clinical covariates interact to influence transfer efficiency.

Mass Spectrometric Determination of Site-Specific O-Acetylation in Rhamnogalacturonan-I Oligomers

This paper develops a method to determine site-specific O-acetylation in RG-I oligomers using deuterated acetyl groups and tandem mass spectrometry.
