摘要:
Endogenous Sp35 is a negative regulator for neuronal survival, axon regeneration, oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination. Molecules that block endogenous Sp35 function, such as anti-Sp35 antibodies can be used as therapeutics for the treatment of neuron and oligodendrocyte dysfunction. The present disclosure provides antibodies specific for Sp35, and methods of using such antibodies as antagonists of endogenous Sp35 function. The disclosure further provides specific hybridoma and phage library-derived monoclonal antibodies, nucleic acids encoding these antibodies, and vectors and host cells comprising these antibodies. The disclosure further provides methods of promoting oligodendrocyte survival and myelination in a vertebrate, comprising administering to a vertebrate in need of such treatment an effective amount of an anti-Sp35 antibody.

The invention provides methods of treating diseases, disorders or injuries involving demyelination and dysmyelination, including multiple sclerosis, by the administration of a LINGO-4 antagonist.
摘要:
The invention provides methods of treating diseases, disorders or injuries involving demyelination and dysmyelination, including multiple sclerosis, by the administration of an Sp35 antagonist. Additional methods include methods for inhibiting the binding of the Sp35 polypeptide with the ErbB2 polypeptide and a method for increasing ErbB2 phosphorylation by contacting oligodendrocytes with an effective amount of a composition comprising an Sp35 antagonist of the invention. Further embodiments of the invention include methods of inhibiting the binding of the Sp35 polypeptide with the ErbB2, increasing ErbB2 phosphorylation and promoting oligodendrocyte differentiation comprising contacting oligodendrocyte or oligodendrcoyte progenitor cells with an ErbB2 binding agent.
