Abbreviations: CFA, complete Freund's adjuvant; EAMG, experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis; IL-9 Abs, interleukin-9 antibodies.

Incidences were compared with the experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) group.

Statistical comparisons among the clinical incidences were made by Fisher's exact test.
