Abstract excerpt
The I-Abm12 mutation in C57B1/6 (B6) mice yields the B6.C-H-2bm12 (bm12) strain, which is resistant to Experimental Myasthenia Gravis (EMG) induced by immunization with Torpedo acetylcholine receptor (TAChR), while the parental B6 strain is highly susceptible to EMG. CD4+ cells from bm12 mice immunized with TAChR do not recognize three sequence regions of the TAChR alpha subunit which dominate the CD4+ cell...
