摘要

Disclosed is a diagnostic kit, as well as a method for analysing a human patient''s sample, in which the presence of - neuromyelitis optica - specific antibodies, in which a starting substrate is incubated with human sample material and the incubated original substrate by means of indirect immunofluorescence is determined whether - neuromyelitis optica - specific antibody bound to the starting substrate at least partially have.The solution described is characterized in that as a starting substrate a aquaporin - 4 - -containing native substrate is used as well as that the at least partially on the aquaporin - 4 - containing original substrate bound - neuromyelitis optica - specific antibodies with components of the complement system are caused to react and the reaction of the complement system in the manner of an indicator - reaction is detected.
