  • Title: Acetylcholine receptor antibody in myasthenia gravis.
    Author: Marchiori PE, dos Reis M, Quevedo ME, Scaff M, Cossermelli W, Assis JL, de Oliveira RM.
    Journal: Acta Neurol Scand; 1989 Nov; 80(5):387-9. PubMed ID: 2589004.
    Abstract:
    Radioimmunoassay techniques were used to detect antibodies to the acetylcholine receptor (AAChR) in 164 patients with adult-onset myasthenia gravis. AAChR levels above 0.6 nM/l were considered pathological and were found in 67% of the patients with an average value of 58.99 +/- 125.02 nM/l (0.6-900.0). Correlation, with clinical functional status, the histopathological thymus alterations and the different therapeutics used did not disclose any statistically significant differences.
