The serum anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies (AchR-Abs) level was > 20 nmol/L (normal range: < 0.4 nmol/L). Chest computed tomography ruled out thymoma and thymic hyperplasia. Based on the patient ...

Myasthenia gravis (MG) should be classified according to antibody status (acetylcholine, MuSK, LRP4, titin), thymus (hyperplasia, neoplasia, atrophy), age at debut (< or >50 years), symptom ...

Conventional T cells that recognize peptide antigens presented by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) undergo well-characterized processes of antigen receptor rearrangement followed by positive ...

T cells with a specific TCR are generated in the thymus through a series of processes, ranging from random rearrangement of TCR gene segments to selection processes that entail apoptosis of ...

However, their lineage relationship was unclear; trNK cells could be developing cNK cells, related to thymic NK cells, or a lineage distinct from both cNK and thymic NK cells. Herein we used detailed ...
