Combining in situ tailing and immunocytochemical staining, we demonstrated that the infiltrating macrophages in muscle tissue sections during early phase of experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) in Lewis rats were eliminated by apoptosis at high frequency. These apoptotic macrophages were
