Mutated cancer autoantigen implicated cause of paraneoplastic myasthenia gravis.

Muscle & nerve - 1 Oct 2018

Zekeridou Anastasia, Griesmann Guy E, Lennon Vanda A

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Antitumor immune responses are postulated to initiate paraneoplastic neurological disorders when proteins that are normally restricted to neural cells are expressed as oncoproteins. Mutated oncopeptides could bypass self-tolerant T cells to activate cytotoxic effector T lymphocytes and requisite helper T lymphocytes to stimulate autoantibody production by B lymphocytes. METHODS: We investigated...
