Antibodies to acetylcholine receptor in parous women with myasthenia: evidence for immunization by fetal antigen [PDF]
, 2002 The weakness in myasthenia gravis (MG) is mediated by autoantibodies against adult muscle acetylcholine receptors (AChR) at the neuromuscular junction; most of these antibodies also bind to fetal AChR, which is present in the thymus.
