Myasthenia gravis and its animal model: T cell receptor expression in an antibody mediated autoimmune disease.

abstract：:Most contemporary models of hematopoiesis assume lineage fidelity of early progenitor cells. Along with this concept normal hematopoietic cells and the majority of leukemias express exclusively myeloid or lymphoid specific antigens. On the other hand, growing evidence exists challenging the lineage fidelity model. Chr...
