A radioimmunoassay was developed for the quantitative evaluation of antibodies to the acetylcholine receptor in the serum of myasthenic patients. AcChR was extracted from human muscle. A detailed preparation of the 125I-labelled alpha-Bgt-AcChR complex used as antigen is reported. Usually, an average of 20 pmol were obtained form 100 g muscle. This preparation is stable for 1 month in presence of an inhibitor of proteolysis and sufficient for performing about fifteen assays. The labelled complex was incubated with increasing amounts of sera and precipitated with anti-human IgG serum. Titres were expressed in pmol 125I-labelled alpha-Bgt-AcChR complex precipitated per ml serum. Out of thirty-nine sera tested thirty-six had positive titres ranging from 0-1-46 pmol/ml. No anti-AcChR were detected in the sera from twenty-seven patients used as controls.
已开发出一种放射免疫分析法,用于定量评估重症肌无力患者血清中抗乙酰胆碱受体抗体。乙酰胆碱受体从人体肌肉中提取。报告了用作抗原的125I标记的α-银环蛇毒素-乙酰胆碱受体复合物的详细制备方法。通常,从100克肌肉中平均可获得20皮摩尔。该制剂在存在蛋白水解抑制剂的情况下可稳定保存1个月,足以进行约15次检测。将标记的复合物与越来越多的血清孵育,并用抗人IgG血清沉淀。滴度以每毫升血清中沉淀的125I标记的α-银环蛇毒素-乙酰胆碱受体复合物的皮摩尔数表示。在检测的39份血清中,36份的滴度为阳性,范围为0.1至46皮摩尔/毫升。在用作对照的27名患者的血清中未检测到抗乙酰胆碱受体。
