Pathomechanisms of paraneoplastic myasthenia gravis.

Clinical & developmental immunology - 1 Mar 2003

Abstract excerpt

Thymic T cell development is characterized by sequential selection processes to ensure generation of a self-tolerant, immuncompetent mature T cell repertoire. Malfunction of any of these selection processes may potentially result in either immunodeficiency or autoimmunity. Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a typical autoimmune manifestation of thymic epithelial tumors (thymomas) and is related to the capacity of these...
