Ocular Myasthenia Gravis Whole Blood
About: Whole blood from donors with confirmed ocular myasthenia gravis. Useful for neuromuscular junction autoantibody profiling and early-stage MG research.
<h2>Ocular Myasthenia Gravis Whole Blood for Research</h2>
Ocular myasthenia gravis is a localized form of MG affecting only the eye muscles, causing ptosis and diplopia, and is a key model for early-stage neuromuscular autoimmunity. Sanguine collects fresh whole blood from IRB-consented donors with a clinically confirmed ocular MG diagnosis for neuromuscular research.
