At paranodes of both central and peripheral nerves, neurofascin-155 (NF155) is expressed by the terminal loops of myelin and associates with the axonal cell adhesion molecules contactin-1 and contactin-associated protein-1. They are important in maintaining the integrity of axo-glial junction and forming barrier against lateral diffusion of nodal channels. Human IgG antibodies consist of four subclasses (IgG1-4) with dif...
