## Abstract Aspects of acetylcholine receptor immunology and circulating receptor antibodies are reviewed with regard to both human and experimental myasthenia gravis. Receptor antibodies that have negligible crossβreactivity with skeletal muscle receptor can nonetheless cause destruction of the po
Intestinal pseudo-obstruction occurs rarely in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) and thymoma. The etiology of the intestinal pseudo-obstruction remains to be elucidated, although an autoimmune mechanism is postulated. We present the first report of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR)
In myasthenia gravis (MG), extraocular muscle (EOM) weakness is often an initial and persisting symptom. It has been proposed that acetylcholine receptor (AChR) from EOM is antigenically different from AChR of other innervated muscles and that the presence of antibodies to fetal AChR expressed in EO
