    Abstract:
    Serum specimens from 52 myasthenic patients with thymoma of various histological characteristics and 4 patients with thymoma without myasthenia have tested for anti-Titin-antibodies titer. It has been demonstrated that organ-specific thymoma dominated at myasthenic patients, and organ-nonspecific thymoma - at the patients without myasthenia. There was no correlation between severe clinical symptoms and the level of anti-Titin-antibodies. The titer of antibodies at the patients with organ-specific thymoma was higher that at ones with organ-nonspecific thymoma, but there was no correlation between the level of anti-Titin-antibodies and histological type of organ-specific thymoma.
