Preferential expression of AChR epsilon-subunit in thymomas from patients with myasthenia gravis.

Preferential expression of AChR epsilon-subunit in thymomas from patients with myasthenia gravis.

The role of antigen expression by thymomas in myasthenia gravis (MG) is not clear. Previous reports of acetylcholine receptor (AChR) mRNA expression by the highly sensitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) produced varying results. To try to clarify this issue, we first used...
