exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 12 . (canceled) 
     
     
         13 . A method comprising:
 administering an effective amount of an antibody to an individual having NMO, wherein the antibody is an anti-NMO antigen antibody having specific binding affinity for a NMO antigenic polypeptide.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the antibody comprises a label. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the label is an imaging agent. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the imaging agent is selected from the group consisting of  32 P,  99 Tc,  111 In and  131 I. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the effective amount is an amount of from about 0.1 mCi to about 50.0 mCi. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the effective amount is an amount of from about 0.01 mg to about 100 mg. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the antibody is administered to the individual parenterally.
