Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for antibody against the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in human myasthenia gravis.

Abstract:

:Antibody against acetylcholine receptor (AChR) of human skeletal muscle was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and found in 23 (74%) of 31 Japanese patients with generalized myasthenia gravis. In 15 patients with generalized myasthenia gravis who had not undergone thymectomy and who were not receiving adrenocorticosteroids, the antibody was found in 13 (87%). Antibody was also found in 13 (54%) of 24 patients with myasthenia gravis against AChR fractions obtained from fetal calf thymus. Based on the subunit structures of the AChR protein, the double precipitation assay using iodine 125-alpha-bungarotoxin is also capable of detecting antibody against the toxin binding site, by cross reactivity. This is among the first reports of experiments in which enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the antibodies in human myasthenia gravis and provides evidence of anti-AChR antibody against antigens from fetal calf thymus.
