    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 65 Patienten mit Myasthenia gravis (MG) wurden Antikörper gegen Acetylcholin-Receptoren (ACh-R) in der IgG-Fraktion des Patienten-Serums bestimmt (Immunpräzipitations-Assay mit125Jod-α-Bungarotoxin und menschlichem ACh-R als Antigen). Bei 91% der Patienten zeigte sich eine erhöhte Antikörper-Konzentration bis zum 500fachen des oberen Referenzbereichs. Eine Kontrollgruppe von 77 Patienten mit anderen gesicherten Autoimmunerkrankungen oder positiven Antikörpern gegen Muskulatur wies in keinem Fall erhöhte ACh-R-Antikörper-Konzentrationen auf. Damit ist der in-vitro Nachweis von ACh-R-Antikörpern ein empfindlicher und hochspezifischer Test für die Diagnostik der MG. Der Test eignet sich ebenfalls für die Verlaufskontrolle unter Therapie mit Immunsuppressiva oder Plasmapherese. Immunfluoreszenz-Untersuchung auf Antikörper gegen Muskelgewebe ist für die MG-Diagnostik weniger empfindlich und nicht spezifisch.
    Notes: Summary The sera of 65 patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) were analysed for antibodies against the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (ACh-R) using an immunoprecipitation assay (125I-α-bungarotoxin bound to human ACh-R as antigen). In 91% of MG sera elevated antibody titers were found ranging up to 500 times reference values. A control group of 77 patients showing various autoimmunological phenomena had ACh-R antibody concentrations within the reference range. The demonstration of antibodies against ACh-R provides a sensitive and highly specific tool for the diagnosis of MG. In addition, the test is helpful in following patients under treatment with immunosuppressive drugs or plasmapheresis. Antibodies against striated, smooth, or heart muscle (indirect immunofluorescence test) are much less sensitive and nonspecific for the diagnosis of MG.

    Notes: Abstract Superradiant transitions were observed between high lying levels in Sr. The transitions react very sensitively to an external electric field. Superradiant cascades or one transition in a superradiant branching can be suppressed. The square root of the high of a superradiant pulse decreases with the second power of the electric field strength. This behaviour can be explained by calculations.
