Human IgG monoclonal autoantibodies against muscle acetylcholine receptor: direct evidence for clonal heterogeneity of the antiself humoral response in myasthenia gravis.

abstract：:We examined the role of Notch ligand Delta-like 1 (Delta1) in the development of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV)-induced demyelinating disease (TMEV-IDD). Blocking of Delta1 by anti-Delta1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) in the effector phase significantly suppressed the disease development of TMEV-IDD both ...
