title: [ELISA for detection of anti-filamin antibody in sera from patient with myasthenia gravis].
abstract: The activity of anti-filamin antibody was determined in sera from 128 patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The positive rate was 77.34%. No correlation was observed between anti-F-ab and nAchRab and CAEab. The antibody-absorbtion test were positive. The result demonstrated that anti-F-ab may play some role in the pathology of MG. The clinical use of ELISA for detection of anti-F-ab may help to diagnose MG.
