(1) Most anti-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies in myasthenia gravis are directed against an immunodominant epitope or epitopes [main immunogenic region (MIR)] on the AChR alpha-subunit.

(5) The beta-subunits of insulin receptor in CHO, CIR-0, Monr-31, and MIR-2 were similarly phosphorylated.

(8) The mAb inhibition was not explainable by epitope competition because (1) the mAb was reactive with both Torpedo and human AChR, but antibodies in 85 of the MG sera did not bind to Torpedo AChR, and (2) the mAb blocked binding of rat anti-peptide antibodies to an alpha subunit region of the human AChR unrelated antigenically to the designated MIR region.
(9) This suggest that the majority of the human MG antibodies are also directed against the MIR.
(10) The three-dimensional and clavulanate double-disk potentiation tests were compared as procedures for the detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase production in 32 strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, 31 of which produced TEM-1, TEM-2, TEM-3, TEM-4, TEM-5, TEM-7, TEM-8, TEM-9, TEM-10, TEM-12, TEM-101, SHV-1, SHV-2, SHV-3, SHV-4, SHV-5, CAZ-2, MIR-1, or an unidentified extended-spectrum beta-lactamase with a pI of 5.95, with some strains producing multiple beta-lactamases.

(12) Two-dimensional NMR experiments [correlated spectroscopy (COSY) and two-dimensional transferred nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (TR-NOESY)] have been applied to study the interactions of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) directed to the main immunogenic region (MIR) of the acetylcholine receptor (AChR), and four synthetic decapeptides from the MIR.
(13) Nick Kanas, a psychiatrist at the University of California, San Francisco, who has studied astronauts on the international space station and the Russian Mir station, said the crew face a tough time.
(14) The computer program MIR previously described (R. Bianchi, G.M.
(15) Fab fragments of an anti-MIR monoclonal antibody (mAb) or a mAb to the beta-subunit (neither of which causes antigenic modulation) were allowed to shield their corresponding regions on the AChR on the mouse muscle cell line BC3H1.
(16) Indices of JE transmission activity (vector abundance, pig seroconversions, and MIRs) increased proportionately with rainfall.
(17) We report the isolation and characterization of a strain of Bacillus, designed MIR 15, which appears to produce and excrete antimicrobials active against Gram-negative bacteria, but not against fungi.
(18) Chick dorsal root ganglion neurons thought to lack nicotinic acetylcholine receptors were not labeled by the anti-MIR mAb.
(19) The patient underwent a CT scan and MIR which showed a diffuse involvement of the ilium and sacrum along with the presence of two cysts (anterior and posterior).
(20) This is interpreted as the contribution to antigenic modulation of the anti-MIR antibody fraction in the human sera.
