What determines the tissue-specific targeting patterns in MOG vs AQP4 antibody-mediated diseases?

OPEN

Both MOGAD and NMOSD target optic nerves and spinal cord preferentially despite different antigen distributions (MOG on myelin vs AQP4 on astrocytes). The mechanism underlying this shared tissue tropism remains unexplained and could inform therapeutic targeting.
