Abstract
The authors measured anti–muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (anti-
MuSK) antibodies (Abs) in 83 serum samples from 40 patients and evaluated
their correlation with myasthenia gravis severity and treatment response. Ab
concentrations were often reduced by immunosuppression but not after
thymectomy. Both in individual cases and in the whole population, a correlation
between Ab levels and disease severity was found.
