Effect of Follicular T Helper and T Helper 17 Cells-Related Molecules on Disease Severity in Patients with Myasthenia Gravis
Our results confirm the contribution of Tfh- and Th17-related cell pathways to MG pathogenesis. Both IVIg and plasmapheresis appear to be effective in reducing Tfh- and Th17-related cytokine/molecule levels in cMG patients. Increased serum IL-17A levels may contribute to disease severity.
