We found that NMO-IgG induces functional and morphological BBB changes, including 1) increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines production (CXCL-10 [IP-10], IL-6, IL-1RA, IL-1β and CXCL-3) in IBMs when exposed to NMO-IgG; 2) decrease of Claudin-5 levels by 25.6% after treatment of fresh IBMs by NMO-IgG compared to Control-IgG (p = 0.002), and similarly, decrease of Claudin-5 by at least 20% when BMEC were cultured with NMO-IgG from five different patients; 3) a higher level of rat-IgG accumulated in periventricular regions of NMO-rats com
