Evaluating an In-House Cell-Based Assay for Detecting Antibodies Against Muscle-Specific Tyrosine Kinase in Myasthenia Gravis
1 Jan 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Detecting antibodies against muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK Abs) is essential for diagnosing myasthenia gravis (MG). We applied an in-house cell-based assay (CBA) to detect MuSK Abs. METHODS: A stable cell line was generated using a lentiviral vector, which allowed the expression of MuSK tagged with green fluorescent protein in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells. Serum and...
