Autoantibody Specificities in Myasthenia Gravis; Implications for Improved Diagnostics and Therapeutics

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease characterized by muscle weakness and fatiguability of skeletal muscles. It is an antibody-mediated disease, caused by autoantibodies targeting neuromuscular junction proteins. In the majority of patients (~85%) antibodies against the muscle acetylcholi...
