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
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
