## Abstract The immunological structure of the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) from the electric organ of Torpedo californica was studied using a large number of monoclonal antibodies which were initially selected for their abilities to bind to intact AChRs. The monoclonal antibodies were tested for

## Abstract Purified acetylcholine receptor reconstituted into liposomes catalyzes carbamylcholine‐dependent ion flux [10]. An endogenous protease activated by Ca^2+^ gives rise to an acrylamide gel pattern of the receptor with the 40,000‐dalton subunit apparently as the major component. Exogenous
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease caused by T cell-dependent antibody-mediated reduction of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) at the neuromuscular junction. Immunization of animals with Torpedo californica AChR (TAChR) results in an experimental model of MG. We used the variable regions o
## Abstract Ion permeation, triggered by ligand‐receptor interaction, is associated with the primary events of membrane depolarization at the neuromuscular junction and synaptic connections. To explore the possible sites of ion permeation, the long‐lived fluorescent probe pyrene (fluorescence lifet
