In myasthenia gravis an autoimmune response against the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
(AChR) occurs. The alpha subunit of the AChR contains both the epitope (s) that dominates …

Autoimmune helper T lymphocytes were selected from the blood of two myasthenic patients
of different HLA-DR type, using acetylcholine receptor (AChR) from Torpedo californica …

The synthesis of AChR antibodies requires intervention of AChR-specific Th cells. Because
of the paucity of anti-AChR Th cells in the blood of myasthenia gravis (MG) patients, direct …

Myasthenia gravis is a human disease caused by an autoimmune response against the
nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AcChoR). Since the molecular structure of AcChoR is well …

The α‐subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is the major target of the autoimmune
response in myasthenia gravis. We investigated the proligerative response of T cells from …

Oligoclonal and cloned T lines from peripheral blood or thymuses of patients with
myasthenia gravis (MG) were selected for reactivity against nicotinic acetylcholine receptors …

The involvement of an autoimmune response (cellular and humoral) to the nicotinic
acetylcholine receptor (AChR) in myasthenia gravis (MG) is well established now. The …

Autoimmune Th cells in myasthenia gravis recognize several sequence regions of the
human muscle acetylcholine receptor (AChR). Most AChR Th epitopes are presented by …

T cell epitopes on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) of Torpedo californica were
analyzed using T cell lines isolated from Lewis, BN, and (Lewis x BN) F1 rats. All lines …

Autoimune T cell lines were prepared from peripheral blood lymphocytes of five myasthenia
gravis patients by passage in vitro with an equimolar mixture of 18 overlapping synthetic …
