Figure 5 shows that there is very good correlation between the results of RIPA and ELISA: all tested 79 sera previously found negative for AQP1 antibodies by the RIPA (44 from healthy controls, 5 from anti-AQP4+/AQP1- sera and 30 from anti-AQP1-negative MS patients) were clearly negative, whereas 29/31 sera previously found anti-AQP1 positive by the RIPA (including one double-positive and two MS sera) were also positive by the ELISA. This evidence concerns the gene AQP1 and myeloid sarcoma.
