The present invention intends to provide a non-human animal model of
Guillain-Barre syndrome, which can be obtained by immunizing
Fc.gamma.RIIB-gene-deficient non-human animal with ganglioside GQ1b, and
a screening method of a therapeutic agent for Guillain-Barre syndrome
using the non-human animal model. A mouse model of Guillain-Barre
syndrome is generated by immunizing Fc.gamma.RIIB-gene-deficient mice
with gangliosides GM1, GM2, GD1a, and GQ1b together with Freund's
adjuvant every three weeks four times in total.
