| T2 |
110-315 |
Sentence |

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system caused by binding of pathogenic IgG autoantibodies (NMO-IgG) to astrocyte water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4). |
| T2 |
110-315 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system caused by binding of pathogenic IgG autoantibodies (NMO-IgG) to astrocyte water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4). |
| T3 |
316-504 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Astrocyte damage and downstream inflammation require NMO-IgG effector function to initiate complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). |
| T3 |
316-504 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Astrocyte damage and downstream inflammation require NMO-IgG effector function to initiate complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). |
| T4 |
505-714 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Here, we evaluated the potential therapeutic utility of the bacterial enzyme IdeS (IgG-degrading enzyme of Streptococcus pyogenes), which selectively cleaves IgG antibodies to yield Fc and F(ab')(2) fragments. |
| T4 |

| T5 |
715-889 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In AQP4-expressing cell cultures, IdeS treatment of monoclonal NMO-IgGs and NMO patient sera abolished CDC and ADCC, even when IdeS was added after NMO-IgG was bound to AQP4. |
| T5 |
715-889 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In AQP4-expressing cell cultures, IdeS treatment of monoclonal NMO-IgGs and NMO patient sera abolished CDC and ADCC, even when IdeS was added after NMO-IgG was bound to AQP4. |
| T6 |
890-985 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Binding of NMO-IgG to AQP4 was similar to that of the NMO-F(ab')(2) generated by IdeS cleavage. |
| T6 |
890-985 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Binding of NMO-IgG to AQP4 was similar to that of the NMO-F(ab')(2) generated by IdeS cleavage. |
| T7 |
986-1138 |
Sentence |
denotes |
NMO-F(ab')(2) competitively displaced pathogenic NMO-IgG, preventing cytotoxicity, and the Fc fragments generated by IdeS cleavage reduced CDC and ADCC. |
| T7 |
986-1138 |
Sentence |
denotes |

| T8 |
1139-1271 |
Sentence |
denotes |
