title: Antibodies as probes of the structure and function of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
abstract: Structural and functional studies of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from Torpedo marmorata are discussed as examples for the distinct differences in properties of antibodies raised against a native antigen as compared to antibodies raised against short or long synthetic peptides.
