17. T cells and costimulatory factors in myasthenia gravis
Abstract : The autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis (MG) is characterized by muscle weakness due to a loss of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) at the neuromuscular end plate. Most MG patients have pathogenic antibodies directed against the receptor. We provide further evidence that T cells are important for establishment and continuation of the disease. READ MORE

18. Molecular mechanisms of HLA associations with myasthenia gravis
Abstract : Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular disease characterised by muscle weakness due to an autoimmune attack against the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). MG has a complex pattern of inheritance and several genetic and environmental factors are important in conferring susceptibility to the disease. READ MORE

19. CTLA-4 expression, regulation and associations in autoimmune myasthenia gravis
Abstract : Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular disease with muscle weakness due to an autoimmune attack against the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) on the skeletal muscle endplate. Cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) plays a global inhibitory role in the immune system and has a crucial role in autoimmunity. READ MORE
