Induction of aquaporin 4-reactive antibodies in Lewis rats immunized with aquaporin 4 mimotopes
Abstract Most cases of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) harbor pathogenic autoantibodies against the water channel aquaporin 4 (AQP4). Binding of these antibodies to AQP4 on astrocytes initiates damage to these cells, which culminates in the formation of large tissue destructive lesio...
