Table 3. Antibodies against acetylcholine receptors

Antibody (antigen) Species Catalog No. Supplier
α1, α3, α5 nAChR A synthetic peptide corresponding to the main immunogenic region on the extracellular surface of muscle α1 AChR subunit, as well as the α3 and α5 subunits of human neuronal AChRs. The antibody binds the α1 subunit weakly when the protein is denatured, but can only detect the α3 and α5 subunit in native forms. rat mAb 210
