The binding property of a monoclonal antibody against the extracellular domains of aquaporin-4 directs aquaporin-4 toward endocytosis
27 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO), an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system, is characterized by an autoantibody called NMO-IgG that recognizes the extracellular domains (ECDs) of aquaporin-4 (AQP4). In this study, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against the ECDs of mouse AQP4 were established by a baculovirus display method. Two types of mAb were obtained: one (E5415A) recognized both M1 and M23 isoforms, and...
