Affinity maturation is required for pathogenic monovalent IgG4 autoantibody development in myasthenia gravis

Pathogenic muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK)–specific IgG4 autoantibodies in autoimmune myasthenia gravis (MG) are functionally monovalent as a result of Fab-arm exchange. The development of these unique autoantibodies is not well understood. We examined MG patient–derived monoclonal autoantibo...
