Journal ArticleDOI
Mutation at I-A beta chain prevents experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis.
TL;DR: According to the cellular, humoral, biochemical, and clinical manifestations of EAMG, the I-A mutation converted an E AMG susceptible strain into a relatively resistant strain (bm12), which may be due to the lack of Ia.8 and/or la.39 antigens.
Reference EntryDOI
Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors
TL;DR: The effects of nicotine and agonist drugs are complex because they can act on many AChR subtypes causing activation, desensitisation and upregulation, and the effects of Nicotine acting on AChRs causes addiction to tobacco.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of acetylcholine receptor in rat diaphragm by anti-receptor sera.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that anti-receptor antiserum increases the rate of ACh receptor degradation in innervated as well as in denervated rat diaphragms maintained in organ culture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for unpredicted transmembrane domains in acetylcholine receptor subunits
TL;DR: A model for the organization of the polypeptide chains in receptor subunits is proposed that has a total of seven transmembrane domains in each subunit, two of which are amphipathic and one of which is not alpha-helical.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Redeye, a new sleep-regulating protein whose expression is modulated by sleep amount
TL;DR: It is proposed that the homeostatic drive to sleep increases levels of RYE, which responds to this drive by promoting sleep.
