Myasthenia gravis (MG) and its animal model experimental
autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) are caused by autoantibodies
against nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) in skeletal muscle.
實驗性自身免疫性重症肌無力(EAMG)
重症肌無力(MG)是由骨骼肌中菸鹼型乙醯膽鹼受體(AChR)的自身抗體引起的。
The production of anti-AChR antibodies is mediated by cytokines
produced by CD4+ and CD8+ T helper (Th) cells.
抗AChR抗體的產生由CD4 +和CD8 + T輔助(Th)細胞產生的細胞因子介導。
The Th1 cytokine IFN-gamma is important in inducing B-cell maturation
and in helping anti-AChR antibody production
Th1細胞因子IFN-γ在誘導B細胞成熟和幫助抗AChR抗體產生是重要的
Results from studies of time kinetics of cytokines imply that IFN-gamma
is more agile at the onset of EAMG, probably being one of the
initiating factors in the induction of the disease,
and IL-4 may be mainly responsible for disease progression and persistance.
細胞因子時間動力學研究的結果意味著
IFN-γ在EAMG發病時更敏捷,
