Immune repertoire profiling in myasthenia gravis

Abstract

AbstractMyasthenia gravis (MG) is the most frequent immune‐mediated neurological disorder, characterized by fluctuating muscle weakness. Specific recognition of self‐antigens by T‐cell receptors (TCRs) and B‐cell receptors (BCRs), coupled with T–B cell interactions, activates B cells to produce autoantibodies, which are critical for the initiation and perpetuation of MG. The immune repertoire comprises all functionally diverse T and B cells at a specific time point in an individual, reflecting the essence of immune selectivity. By sequencing the nucleotide sequences of TCRs and BCRs, it is possible to track individual T‐ and B‐cell clones. This review delves into the generation of autoreactive TCRs and BCRs in MG and comprehensively examines the applications of immune repertoire sequencing in understanding disease pathogenesis, developing diagnostic and prognostic markers and informing targeted therapies. We also discuss the current limitations and future potential of this approach.
