Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides methods of treating diseases, disorders or injuries involving demyelination and dysmyelination, including multiple sclerosis, by the administration of an Sp35 antagonist.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of identifying an Sp35 antagonist capable of promoting oligodendrocyte-mediated myelination comprising contacting a co-culture of neurons and oligodendrocytes with a compound that binds to Sp35 or to a polynucleotide that encodes Sp35 and measuring myelination, wherein increased myelination compared to a control co-culture indicates the compound is an Sp35 antagonist capable of promoting oligodendrocyte-mediated myelination. 2. Th…
