a-BgTx, EPI or IMI. In contrast the dissociation rate was markedly increased when initiated by MLA compared to a-BgTx, EPI or IMI (Fig 1). Displacement of [ 125 I]a-BgTx, [ 3 H]EPI and [ 3 H]IMI by MLA was with high potency with an IC 50 value close to the K d value of each of these labelled ligand
The a-subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is the major target of the autoimmune response in myasthenia gravis. We investigated the proliferative response of T cells from patients with myasthenia gravis and healthy volunteers to recombinant polypeptides of the human acetylcholine receptor
Addition of lithium in vitro inhibited the binding of [3H]( -)QNB to muscarinic cholinergic receptors of homogenates of tissue prepared from the striatum, cortex, and hippocampus of rat brain. Chronic in vivo exposure of rats to lithium in their food produced serum levels of lithium comparable to th
