Part Descriptions

LP17722-7   Acetylcholine receptor
An acetylcholine receptor (abbreviated AChR) is an integral membrane protein that responds to the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Nicotinic receptors are the primary mediator of the effects of nicotine. In myasthenia gravis, the receptor at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is targeted by antibodies, leading to muscle weakness. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors can be blocked by the drugs atropine and scopolamine. Drugs such as the neuromuscular blocking agents bind reversibly to the nicotinic receptors in the neuromuscular junction and are used routinely in anesthesia. .

LP36947-7   Acetylcholine receptor Ab
AChR antibodies and striated muscle antibodies have been detected in patients with Myasthenia gravis (MG), thymoma without neurological symptoms, and in patients with other autoimmune diseases, including, for example, Lambert-Eaton disease, myasthenic syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Graves disease, and autoimmune liver disease.

AChR antibodies are further characterized into three categories; binding, blocking, and modulating.
ACHR-binding antibodies are detected in 90% of patients with severe, generalized MG, and 50% of patients with ocular MG. ACHR-modulating antibodies and ACHR-blocking antibodies are detected in approximately 65% to 70% of MG patients. Source: ARUP Laboratories

Change Reason
The EIA method, which was always intended to cover more than just enzyme-linked immunoassay and whose display name for the long common name has always been Immunoassay, was renamed IA in order to eliminate ambiguity about whether the method has a broader meaning than just enzyme-linked immunoassay. Likewise, EIA.rapid was renamed IA.rapid. These changes were approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
