Markedly Increased IP-10 Production by Blood-Brain Barrier in Neuromyelitis Optica

OBJECTIVE: Severe damage to the blood-brain barrier (BBB) allows anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibodies to access the astrocytic endfeet in neuromyelitis optica (NMO). In the current study, we identified the pathogenic cytokines/chemokines that are responsible for the BBB malfunction induced by NMO sera...
