Significant advances are being made in characterizing thecells and molecules involved in the autoimmune response to theacetylcholine receptor (AChR). These advances are leading to thedevelopment of specific methods of immunointervention in EAMG. Furtherunderstanding of the intricate involvement of the majorhistocompatibility complex (MHC) and non-MHC genes, T cell receptors(TCR), costimulator molecules, and specific cytokines in the afferentand efferent autoimmune response of AChR should pave the way to futureantigen/clone-specific therapy of MG. .This book is the outcome of the MG workshop proceedings i | 出版日期 | Book 2000 | 关键词 | Antigen; T cell; Thymus; autoimmune disease; blood; cell; clinical trial; cytokine; histocompatibility; muscl | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-4060-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-010-5787-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-011-4060-7 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2000 |
