| Research Abstract |
Anti-signal recognition particle (SRP) antibodies were first found in the serum from a patient with polymyositis and were classified as one of the myositis-specific antibodies. We advocate for clinical recognition of a chronic form of anti-SRP myopathy, usually progressed over one year.
Anti-Kv1.4 antibody was detected by an immunoprecipitation assay using 35S-labeled rhabdomyosarcome cellular extract as the antigen source. Patients with anti-Kv1.4 antibodies showed higher frequencies of thymoma recurrence and MG relapse compared to those without. Anti-Kv1.4 antibody is a useful predictor of the prognosis of thymoma-associated MG. In addition, 70 (10.8%) of 650 MG patients had anti-Kv1.4 antibodies and 60% of them had abnormal ECG findings with high frequencies of T-wave abnormality and QT prolongation. Myocarditis was found in 8 MG patients with anti-Kv1.4 antibodies. Most patients showed rapid deterioration with lethal arrhythmias and severe heart failure.
