Cotransfer of the Eαd and Aβd genes into L cells results in the surface expression of a functional mixed-isotype Ia molecule [PDF]
Ia molecules play a key role in antigen recognition by T lymphocytes. To analyze the structural features of the individual α and β chains relevant to the assembly of intact Ia molecules, mouse fibroblasts were contransfected with various combinations of ...

Durability of Response to B‐Cell Maturation Antigen‐Directed mRNA Cell Therapy in Myasthenia Gravis
ABSTRACT Objective We report the 12‐month follow‐up outcomes from a Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT04146051) evaluating Descartes‐08, a BCMA‐directed RNA chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell (rCAR‐T) therapy for refractory generalized myasthenia gravis (MG).

Use of a lambda gt11 expression library to localize a neutralizing antibody-binding site in glycoprotein E2 of Sindbis virus [PDF]
The Sindbis virus envelope contains two species of integral membrane glycoproteins, E1 and E2. These proteins form heterodimers, and three dimeric units assemble to form spikes incorporated into the viral surface which play an important role in the ...

Expanding Hereditary Spastic Paraplegias Limits: Biallelic SPAST Variants in Cerebral Palsy Mimics
ABSTRACT Objective Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are rare neurodegenerative disorders marked by spasticity and lower limb weakness. The most common type, SPG4, is usually autosomal dominant and caused by SPAST gene variants, typically presenting as pure HSP.

ABSTRACT Objective Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 1 (FSHD1) is a progressive neuromuscular disorder with no approved treatments. Identifying reliable biomarkers is critical to monitor disease severity, activity, and progression. Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) has been proposed as a candidate biomarker, but longitudinal validation is limited ...

A platelet alpha-granule membrane protein (GMP-140) is expressed on the plasma membrane after activation. [PDF]
We have previously characterized a monoclonal antibody, S12, that binds only to activated platelets (McEver, R.P., and M.N. Martin, 1984, J. Biol. Chem., 259:9799-9804). It identifies a platelet membrane protein of Mr 140,000, which we have designated as

Decreased Serum 5‐HT: Clinical Correlates and Regulatory Role in NMJ of MG
ABSTRACT Objective Although 5‐Hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) indirectly stimulates muscle contraction and participates in regulating Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) cluster homeostasis in cellular, animal, and clinical studies, evidence regarding its potential to modulate muscle contraction in myasthenia gravis (MG) remains limited.
