Abstract excerpt
A gene conversion event between Ebb and Abb in the B6.C-H-2bm12 (bm12) strain, which alters three amino acids in the C-terminal half of the first domain of Abb (Ile-67-->Phe; Arg-70-->Gln; Thr-71-->Lys) resulted in resistance to experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) pathogenesis. To st...
