title: Sensorimotor polyneuropathy and monoclonal IgM: a review of clinical and immunological features.
abstract: Main clinical and biological features of peripheral neuropathies associated with monoclonal IgM are reviewed. Special emphasis is given to the structure of these monoclonal auto-antibodies which points to an antigen (or some other kind of selective pressure) driven process.
