Abstract:
A pharmaceutical composition comprising an active agent that causes reduction of the level of systemic immunosuppression in an individual for use in treating a disease, disorder, condition or injury of the CNS that does not include the autoimmune neuroinflammatory disease, relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), is provided. The pharmaceutical composition is for administration by a dosage regimen comprising at least two courses of therapy, each course of therapy comprising in sequence a treatment session followed by an interval session of non-treatment.
Abstract:
Copolymer 1, a Copolymer 1-related peptide, a Copolymer 1-related polypeptide, and T cells activated therewith are useful in methods and compositions for treatment of psychiatric disorders, diseases and conditions.
Abstract:
A monocyte subpopulation having a low relative amount, or substantially devoid, of CD3+ cells, CD19+ cells, CD56+ cells and optionally CD16+ cells is provided, wherein the monocyte subpopulation is for use in inhibition of neuronal degeneration, protection of neurons from glutamate toxicity or promotion of nerve regeneration in the retina or optic nerve, wherein the retina or optic nerve is damaged by a disease, disorder or condition of the eye, or for treatment of an inflammatory disease, disorder or condition of the eye.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are provided for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in which there is accumulation of misfolded and/or aggregated proteins, excluding prion diseases. In particular, the invention relates to treatment of the neurodegenerative diseases Huntington's disease (HD), Alzheimer's disease (AD) or Parkinson's disease (PD), by administration of an agent selected from the group consisting of (i) Copolymer 1, (ii) a Copolymer 1-related peptide, (iii) a Copolymer 1-related polypeptide, and (iv) T cells activated with (i), (ii) or (iii).
