Application Notes (Clone): The original antibody was used in vitro to test if it could activate its target. It showed to be a potent MuSK activator. The antibody was also tested in vivo on mice. Here is was shown to localize to the neuromuscular junctions here it increased innervation. This antibody did not show any delay in onset of ALS symptoms (Sengupta-Ghosh et al., 2019; PMID:30528255).
