Myasthenia gravis (MG) and its animal model experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) are caused by autoantibodies against nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) in skeletal muscle. The production of anti-AChR antibodies is mediated by cytokines produced by CD4+ and CD8+ T helper (Th) cells.

In 5-10% of all patients with typical generalised myasthenia gravis (MG), serum antibody to the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) is undetectable. To determine whether these represent a distinct subgroup, we have compared the thymuses of 14 seronegatives, 70 seropositives and 12 non-myasthenic controls.
