BACKGROUND: Several assays have been developed to detect antibodies to aquaporin-4
(NMO-IgG/AQP4-Ab). However, many of these assays require sophisticated techniques and
are thus only available at specialized laboratories. This is problematic since NMO-IgG/AQP4-
Ab testing has important prognostic and therapeutic implications. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a
newly developed, commercial, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting
NMO-IgG/AQP4-Ab. METHODS: Serum samples from 261 patients with NMO spectrum …
