Electrophysiological evaluation of IgG4Δhinge-637 treated rhesus monkeys. (a) Treatment schedule. Monkeys were treated with PBS or IgG4Δhinge-637 (IgG4Δhinge) on three consecutive days (T1-T3), 6 hours prior to challenge (Ch1-Ch3) with PBS or IgG1-637 (IgG1). Intercostal muscle biopsies, single fiber electromyography (SFMG) and compound muscle action potential (CMAP) measurements during repetitive nerve stimulation were performed before (pre) and 7 days after start of treatment. Red arrowheads indicate blood sampling. Mean consecutive difference (MCD) of the delay between motor nerve stimulation and muscle fiber action potential (Jitter) (b) and neuromuscular transmission failures (Blockings) (c) in the orbicularis oculi muscle in different treatment groups. Decrement amplitude (d) and area (e) in the CMAP of the extensor digitorum brevis muscle in different treatment groups. Reference values were recorded before start of treatment (Pre). Data represent mean ± SEM.
