Functional Characterization of Aquaporin-4 Specific T Cells: Towards a Model for Neuromyelitis Optica

BACKGROUND: Antibodies to the water channel protein aquaporin-4 (AQP4), which is expressed in astrocytic endfeet at the blood brain barrier, have been identified in the serum of Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) patients and are believed to induce damage to astrocytes. However, AQP4 specific T helper cell...
