  1. Summary of the published literature on anti-MOG antibodies in adult NMO/NMOSD listed in PubMed until October 2014: The first two publications of the table summarize the literature not solely focused on NMO/NMOSD, while the other reports summarize the publications with a systematic analysis of anti-MOG antibodies in NMO/NMOSD. Abbreviations: BON, bilateral optic neuritis; CBA, cell-based assay; ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; fem., female; f/u, follow-up; MOG, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein; n.a., not available; NMO, neuromyelitis optica; NMOSD, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disease; ON, optic neuritis; TM, transverse myelitis.
