Immunogenicity of human recombinant acetylcholine receptor alpha subunit: cytoplasmic epitopes dominate the antibody response in four mouse strains.

In mysathenia gravis (MG) autoantibodies directed against acetylcholine receptors (AChR), at the neuromuscular junction lead to muscle weakness. These antibodies are directed against extracellular determinants, predominantly on the AChR alpha subunits. Similar antibodies can be induced in animals by...
