Main immunogenic region structure promotes binding of conformation-dependent myasthenia gravis autoantibodies, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor conformation maturation, and agonist sensitivity.
description:
Sequences of the extracellular domain of human AChR alpha 7 subunits were replaced by homologous human alpha 1 sequences to determine which alpha 1 sequences would confer antigenicity of an alpha 1 immunogenic region to an alpha 1/alpha 7 chimera. These chimeric constructs were used to elucidate epitopic determinants for a set of monoclonal antibodies. Two discontinuous regions were defined for this mAb, which are adjacent only in the native conformation.
