Aquaporin-4 antibody testing: direct comparison of M1-AQP4-DNA-transfected cells with leaky scanning versus M23-AQP4-DNA-transfected cells as antigenic substrate

Table 1 Neuromyelitis optica (NMO)-IgG/AQP4-Ab seropositivity rates as found in an M1-AQP4-DNA-based cell-based assay with leaky scanning (LS, ‘assay A’) and in an M23-AQP4-DNA-based cell-based assay (’assay B’)

^aM1-DNA- and M23-DNA-transfected cells were tested simultaneously on separate biochips within the same well to ensure identical incubation conditions.
