A primary human muscle cell-based assay for detecting myasthenia gravis autoantibody binding and assessing AChR cluster impairment
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease caused by pathogenic autoantibodies against proteins at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). The diagnosis and clinical management of MG patients largely relies on the detection of antigen-specific autoantibodies targeting acetylcholine receptor (AChR) or muscle-specific kinase (MuSK). Yet a subset of patients remains seronegative for known MG…
