- Interleukin-4 deficiency facilitates development of experimental myasthenia gravis and precludes its prevention by nasal administration of CD4+ epitope sequences of the acetylcholine receptor.
- Subcutaneous administration of T-epitope sequences of the acetylcholine receptor prevents experimental myasthenia gravis.
- Absence of IFN-gamma or IL-12 has different effects on experimental myasthenia gravis in C57BL/6 mice.
- Transgenic expression of IL-10 in T cells facilitates development of experimental myasthenia gravis.
- Adoptive protection from experimental myasthenia gravis with T cells from mice treated nasally with acetylcholine receptor epitopes.
- De novo, deleterious sequence variants that alter the transcriptional activity of the homeoprotein PBX1 are associated with intellectual disability and pleiotropic developmental defects.
- Preferential pairing of T and B cells for production of antibodies without covalent association of T and B epitopes.
- Residues within the alpha subunit sequence 304-322 of muscle acetylcholine receptor forming autoimmune CD4+ epitopes in BALB/c mice.
- Clustering of B and T epitopes within short sequence regions of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
- PCR screening of transgenic RAG-2 "knockout" immunodeficient mice.
- Simple, inexpensive computerized rodent activity meters.
- Prevention of experimental myasthenia gravis by nasal administration of synthetic
- Immunization of bm12 mice with high doses of acetylcholine receptor overcomes their resistance to experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis.
- Nasal administration of synthetic acetylcholine receptor T epitopes affects the immune response to the acetylcholine receptor and prevents experimental myasthenia gravis.
