Plasma complement biomarkers distinguish multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder [PDF]
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are autoimmune demyelinating diseases distinguished clinically by selective involvement in NMOSD of optic nerves and spinal cord. Early clinical manifestations are

Human antibodies against the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein can cause complement-dependent demyelination [PDF]
Background Antibodies to the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) are associated with a subset of inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum ...

An immunoassay that distinguishes real neuromyelitis optica signals from a labeling detected in patients receiving natalizumab [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Cell-based assays for neuromyelitis optica (NMO) diagnosis are the most sensitive and specific methods to detect anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibodies in serum, but some improvements in their quantitative and specificity capacities would be ...

direct comparison of M1-AQP4-DNA-transfected cells with leaky scanning versus M23-AQP4-DNA-transfected cells as antigenic substrate [PDF]
Background Neuromyelitis optica (NMO, Devic syndrome) is associated with antibodies to aquaporin-4 (NMO-IgG/AQP4-Ab) in the majority of cases. NMO- IgG/AQP4-Ab seropositivity in patients with NMO and its spectrum disorders has important differential ...
