Abstract excerpt

Association of immunoglobulin allotypes with myasthenia gravis was examined in a set of 84 patients presenting autoantibodies against muscle acetylcholine receptor (AChR). Km and G1m(f)/G1m(z) allotypes were determined by PCR-amplification followed by hybridization with allele-specific oligonucle...
