Serum thymic factor and the neuromuscular transmission.
The effect of Serum Thymic Factor (FTS) on neuromuscular transmission has been studied in vivo by electromyographic assay. As no modification of muscle tetanus pattern was detected, the involvement of this factor in the pathology of thymus disorders leading to myasthenia is unlikely.
