ABSTRACT
Objective To explore mimic antigen based ELISA for detecting serum anti-acquaporin4(AQP4) antibody in neuromyelitis optica(NMO) patients. Methods Three polypeptides AQP456-69,AQP4135-155, AQP4209-230 were designed to simulate antigen epitopes of AQP4 through biological information and structure biology analysis, the peptides was used as antigen in ELISA to detect serum anti-AQP4 antibody in 9 NMO patients and 7 other miscellaneous neurological disorders which hayed been detected by immumofluorescence method. Results The mean value of A of anti-AQP4 antibody postive patients which have been determined by immumofluorescence method were higher than the controls in ELISA with AQP4135-155,AQP4209-230 as antigen (P<0.05). When the patients serum were diluted at 4 and 8 times, the A values were higher than controls significantly ( P<0.05 ). Conclusion Outmembrane polypeptides AQP4135-155,AQP4209-230 may be the main antigen epitope or main part of antigen epitope, they could be used to detect serum anti-AQP4 antibody in NMO patients.
