Myasthenia gravis and the tops and bottoms of AChRs: antigenic structure of the MIR and specific immunosuppression of EAMG using AChR cytoplasmic domains.
description:
The epitope sequence is from the reference cited: Tzartos (1998) Immunol Rev 163: 89-120 [PMID: 9700504].
Conformation-dependent rat mAb 35 immunoprecipitated human alpha1/alpha7chimera containing residues 2-14 and 60-81, demonstrating that these residues form part of the conformational epitope recognized by the mAb. Shortening the length of the alpha1 insert to residues 66-76 reduced the binding of the mAb.
