Autoantibodies are frequently observed in healthy individuals. In a minority of these
individuals, they lead to manifestation of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis …

Generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by
skeletal muscle weakness caused by disrupted neurotransmission at the neuromuscular …

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are integral membrane proteins and prototypic
members of the ligand‐gated ion‐channel superfamily, which has precursors in the …

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) are a family of acetylcholine-gated cation
channels that form the predominant excitatory neurotransmitter receptors on muscles and …

Much progress has been made in the 26 years since initial studies of the first purified
acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) led to the discovery that an antibody‐mediated …

The favorable selective toxicity of neonicotinoid insecticides (represented here by
imidacloprid, thiacloprid, and a nitromethylene analogue) for insects versus mammals is not …

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors formed from combinations of α3, β2, β4, and α5 subunits
are found in chicken ciliary ganglion neurons and some human neuroblastoma cell lines …

Studies of the structure and function of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs)
evolved out of studies of muscle AChRs. This review will begin with a brief summary of …

The neuromuscular junction nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR), a pentameric
membrane glycoprotein, is the autoantigen involved in the autoimmune disease myasthenia …

We prepared concatamers of α4 and β2 subunits for human nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
(AChRs), in which the C terminus of α4 was linked to the N terminus of β2, or vice versa, via …
