Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-IgG with an NMO spectrum disorder like phenotype is now recognized as a sensitive and specific diagnostic antibody biomarker of inflammatory demyelinating disorders (IDDs). Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the CNS in which activated immune cells invade the central nervous system and cause inflammation, neurodegeneration, and tissue damage.The underlying cause is currently unknown. Antibodies to the minor myelin components, myelin-associated glycoprotein and myelin oligodendrocyte protein, which constitute <1% of the myelin proteins, also label oligodendrocytes and myelin in vivo (Linington et al 1984). Approximately 80% of patients fulfilling 2006 Wingerchuk criteria for neuromyelitis optica are seropositive for aquaporin-4 (AQP4)-IgG. (1) Fan S, Xu Y, Ren H, et al. Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), also known as oligodendrocyte precursor cells, NG2-glia or polydendrocytes, are a subtype of glial cells in the central nervous system. Comparison of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-antibody disease and AQP4-IgG-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) when they co-exist with anti-NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor encephalitis.
