Research Abstract

Using KM^<TM> mouse that can produce human immunoglobulins, we have developed the idiotype antibodies and its anti-idiotype antibodies for the treatment of myasthenia gravis(MG). By immunization of KM^<TM> mice with purified human alpha-acetylcholine receptor(AChR), we could obtain 15 mAbs. Twelve of 15 clones have a strong affinity against the AChR. Two of them showed the AChR defradation using^<125> I bungarotoxin binding assay. We also could obtain two mAbs against the complementary peptide(CHIVVKEPIWIVIATHF-COOH) for human AChR61-76 amino acid residues. Using Fab' of these mAb, we will try to check the idiotype antibodies in patients with MG.
