Project description:To characterize the roles of NFAT1 in the pathogenesis of autoimmune myasthenia gravis (MG) at a genome-wide scale, we performed gene expression microarray analysis for wild-type (WT) and NFAT1 KO bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) with or without 2h and 12h-stimulation with pam3CSK4.
Project description:Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic antibody-mediated autoimmune disease disrupting neuromuscular synaptic transmission. Antibodies (Abs) against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) are detected in approximately 85% of patients. Here, we aimed to study the serum proteome of MG and to identify novel biomarkers reflecting disease activity.
