Antibody

A protective protein produced by your immune system that attaches to antigens (foreign substances), such as bacteria and toxins, and removes them from your body. In myelinAn insulating layer, or sheath that forms around nerves, including those in the brain and spinal cord. It is made up of protein and fatty substances. This myelin sheath allows electrical impulses to transmit quickly and efficiently along the nerve cells. If myelin is damaged, these impulses slow down. oligodendrocyte glycoproten antibody disease (MOGADOften referred to as MOGAD, Anti-MOG, MOG Ab+, MOG Antibody Disease, MOG Associated Antibody Disease, MOG positive disease  ), the body incorrectly produces an antibody that targets myelin oligodendrocyte glycoproteinA type of protein involved in cell adhesion. Present throughout myelin sheaths., a component of the myelinAn insulating layer, or sheath that forms around nerves, including those in the brain and spinal cord. It is made up of protein and fatty substances. This myelin sheath allows electrical impulses to transmit quickly and efficiently along the nerve cells. If myelin is damaged, these impulses slow down. sheath in the central nervous systemNerve tissue that resides in and composes the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve.
