B10 Cell Frequencies and Suppressive Capacity in Myasthenia Gravis Are Associated with Disease Severity.
(Front Neurol, 2017)Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a T cell-dependent, B cell-mediated disease. The mechanisms for loss of self-tolerance in this disease are not well understood, and recently described regulatory B cell (Breg) subsets have not been ... -
Characterization of B cells in muscle-specific kinase antibody myasthenia gravis.
(Neurol Neuroimmunol Neuroinflamm, 2015-04)OBJECTIVE: To characterize B-cell subsets in patients with muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) myasthenia gravis (MG). METHODS: In accordance with Human Immunology Project Consortium guidelines, we performed polychromatic ... -
Characterization of CD4 and CD8 T cell responses in MuSK myasthenia gravis.
(J Autoimmun, 2014-08)Muscle specific tyrosine kinase myasthenia gravis (MuSK MG) is a form of autoimmune MG that predominantly affects women and has unique clinical features, including prominent bulbar weakness, muscle atrophy, and excellent ... -
Establishment of normative ranges of the healthy human immune system with comprehensive polychromatic flow cytometry profiling.
(PloS one, 2019-01)Existing normative flow cytometry data have several limitations including small sample sizes, incompletely described study populations, variable flow cytometry methodology, and limited depth for defining lymphocyte ... -
Myasthenia gravis.
(Orphanet J Rare Dis, 2007-11-06)Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare, autoimmune neuromuscular junction disorder. Contemporary prevalence rates approach 1/5,000. MG presents with painless, fluctuating, fatigable weakness involving specific muscle groups. Ocular ... -
Normative dataset for plasma cytokines in healthy human adults.
(Data in brief, 2021-04)We determined normative data for plasma cytokines established from a cohort of 126 carefully screened healthy adults aged 18 to 64 years. Participants were enrolled to ensure an even age and sex distribution and to include ... -
Prolonged B-cell depletion in MuSK myasthenia gravis following rituximab treatment.
(Muscle Nerve, 2013-12) -
Small-fiber neuropathy in pompe disease: first reported cases and prospective screening of a clinic cohort.
(Am J Case Rep, 2015-04-03)BACKGROUND: Prior autopsy reports demonstrate glycogen deposition in Schwann cells of the peripheral nerves in patients with infantile and late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD), but little is known about associated clinical features. ... -
