A new antibody reacting with a cell membrane-related antigen is described in a patient with myasthenia gravis and chronic liver disease. The antibody gave a striking peripheral immunofluorescence in all cells tested and did not react with smooth muscle fibres, being distinct from anti-actin and anti-myosin antibodies. The antigen was widely distributed in human and animal tissues. The exact relationship of this antibody to the clinical condition is not obvious but its presence is further evidence of widespread disturbances of humoral immunity in myasthenia gravis.
在一名患有重症肌无力和慢性肝病的患者中,发现了一种与细胞膜相关抗原发生反应的新抗体。该抗体在所有测试细胞中均呈现出显著的周边免疫荧光,且不与平滑肌纤维发生反应,这使其有别于抗肌动蛋白和抗肌球蛋白抗体。该抗原广泛分布于人和动物组织中。这种抗体与临床病症的确切关系尚不明确,但其存在进一步证明了重症肌无力患者体液免疫存在广泛紊乱。
