Unmasking features of the auto‐epitope essential for β1‐adrenoceptor activation by autoantibodies in chronic heart failure

Abstract Aims Chronic heart failure (CHF) can be caused by autoantibodies stimulating the heart via binding to first and/or second extracellular loops of cardiac β1‐adrenoceptors. Allosteric receptor activation depends on conformational features of the autoantibody binding site. Elucidating these fe...
