Summary
The BioVendor AQP4 Autoantibody ELISA Version 2 kit is intended for use by professional persons only, for the quantitative determination of AQP4 autoantibodies (AQP4 Ab) in human serum. Neuromyelitis optica (NMO), also known as Devic’s syndrome, is an immune-mediated neurologic disease that involves the spinal cord and optic nerves. It can be considered to be a disorder distinct from multiple sclerosis (MS). A serum immunoglobulin G autoantibody (NMO- IgG) has been shown to be a specific marker for NMO and the water channel aquaporin 4 (AQP4) has been identified as the antigen for NMO IgG. Measurement of AQP4 Ab can be of considerable value in distinguishing NMO from MS when full clinical features may not be apparent and early intervention may prevent or delay disability.
