Polypeptides related to the pre-acetylcholine receptor- alpha of the electric organ of Torpedo californica

摘要

Polypeptides having partial or complete amino acid sequences related to the pre-acetylcholine receptor- alpha of the electric organ Torpedo californica are disclosed. These polypeptides having AChR antigenic properties are useful for the production and purification of antibodies to the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) as well as for the diagnosis of myastenia gravis (MG).
