Immunobiochemical Characteristics of IgG Antibodies in Myasthenia

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

The abzyme activity of mAb35 and pQ1-209 was compared with that of normal rabbit IgG and serum IgG from patients with various forms of myasthenia. It was found that mAb35 and pQ1-209 and IgG from patients with myasthenia possess catalytic activity. IgG from myasthenia patients with thymomas possess creatine phosphokinase activity, which 2- fold surpassed the control.
