Abstract:
AQP4-IgG NMOSD (anti-aquaporin-4 neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder) and MOGAD (myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody associated disease) are unique disorders among themselves, with rare reports of dual seropositivity being described. Evaluation with cell-based assays reduces the incidence of false positivity. The clinical features of these cases may either have a dominant phenotype or may evolve into one subsequently. We describe a young girl aged 18-year-old who presented with longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis and dual seropositivity to both AQP4 and MOG antibodies.

Diversity of Antigen Receptors
Before encountering any antigen, lymphocytes express these receptors. On B cells, the antigen receptor is a membrane-bound antibody molecule called BCR; on T cells, it is a T cell receptor or TCR. B and T cell receptors are composed of two...

Blood Transfusion and Agglutination
History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or...
