Detection of AQP4-specific antibodies in sera of Lewis rats immunized with mimotopes. Life-cell immunofluorescence staining against the surface antigens rat AQP4-EmGFP and human AQP4-EmGFP was made. Antigens were transiently transfected into HEK293 cells (green) and sera of Lewis rats immunized with mimotopes IV-04, III-01, I-13, I-04, or IV-38 were added. Bound antibodies were then detected with anti-rat-IgG (red). Merge of green and red signals reveals surface staining of transfected cells in yellow if antibody signals were strong. Additional images at 40x magnification were added for details (see inlay). For titer values see Table 3
