Description
The Acetylcholine Receptor-Ab (ARAb) Assay kit is useful as an aid in the differential diagnosis of Myasthenia gravis (MG).
The determination of autoantibodies against the acetylcholine receptor is used as the first screening tool in patients with suspected Myasthenia Gravis disease, as in around 80 % of MG patients autoantibodies against AChR are detectable (seropositive MG). Additionally, determination of autoantibodies provides information concerning (patho-) physiological state of the patient. The amount of radioactivity of the sediment is directly proportional to the concentration of acetylcholine receptor autoantibodies of the sample.
