Accumulation of Astrocytic Aquaporin 4 and Aquaporin 1 in Prion Protein Plaques [PDF]
Abstract Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker (GSS) disease with P102L mutation and familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) with V180I mutation are 2 major hereditary prion diseases in Japan. GSS and some familial CJD [V180I] exhibit characteristic prion protein (PrP) plaques. Overexpression of the astrocytic water channel proteins aquaporin (

Aquaporins: relevance to cerebrospinal fluid physiology and therapeutic potential in hydrocephalus
The discovery of a family of membrane water channel proteins called aquaporins, and the finding that aquaporin 1 was located in the choroid plexus, has prompted interest in the role of aquaporins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production and consequently ...

Gas-tight triblock-copolymer membranes are converted to CO2 permeable by insertion of plant aquaporins [PDF]
We demonstrate that membranes consisting of certain triblock-copolymers were tight for CO2. Using a novel approach, we provide evidence for aquaporin facilitated CO2 diffusion.

Significance of molecular biomarkers in the diagnosis of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder [PDF]
Discovery of antibodies to aquaporin-4 channels as a laboratory or molecular biomarker for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder contributed to a better understanding of the etiopathogenesis, with a clear separation of the clinical, neuroradiological ...

An optimized immunohistochemistry technique improves NMO-IgG detection: study comparison with cell-based assays. [PDF]
Cell-based assays (CBA) have increased the sensitivity of the neuromyelitis optica (NMO)-IgG/aquaporin-4-antibody detection compared to classical tissue-based indirect assays.

Aquaporin-4 Autoantibodies in a Paraneoplastic Context [PDF]
The neuromyelitis optica IgG autoantibody (NMO-IgG) is a validated biomarker for NMO and an emerging spectrum of inflammatory central nervous system-demyelinating disorders. Its antigen is the astrocytic water channel aquaporin-4; NMO-IgG has not been described in a cancer context.To report (1) neurologic and oncologic correlates for patients ...

Cerebrospinal fluid aquaporin-4-immunoglobulin G disrupts blood brain barrier [PDF]
To clarify the significance of immunoglobulin G autoantibody specific for the astrocyte water channel aquaporin-4 in cerebrospinal fluid, aquaporin-4-immunoglobulin G from a neuromyelitis optica patient was administered intrathecally to naïve mice, and ...
