NOGO receptor binding protein
View Patent ↗The invention provides Sp35 polypeptides and fusion proteins thereof, Sp35 antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof and nucleic acids encoding the same. The invention also provides compositions comprising, and methods for making and using, such Sp35 antibodies, antigen-binding fragments thereof, Sp35 polypeptides and fusion proteins thereof.
1. A method of treating a CNS disease, disorder, or injury associated with neurodegeneration in a mammal in need thereof comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an Sp35 antagonist, wherein the Sp35 antagonist inhibits the interaction of Sp35 and NgR1.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mammal is a human.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Sp35 antagonist is an anti-Sp35 antibody.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the mammal is a human.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the CNS disease, disorder, or injury associated with neurodegeneration is selected from the group consisting of ALS, Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, diabetic neuropathy, stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the CNS disease, disorder, or injury associated with neurodegeneration is Parkinson's disease.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the CNS disease, disorder, or injury associated with neurodegeneration is stroke.
8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the CNS disease, disorder, or injury associated with neurodegeneration is spinal cord injury.
9. A method of treating multiple sclerosis in a mammal in need thereof comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an Sp35 antagonist, wherein the Sp35 antagonist inhibits the interaction of Sp35 and NgR1.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the mammal is a human.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the Sp35 antagonist is an anti-Sp35 antibody.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the mammal is a human.
13. A method of treating optic nerve injury in a mammal in need thereof comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an Sp35 antagonist, wherein the Sp35 antagonist inhibits the interaction of Sp35 and NgR1.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the mammal is a human.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the Sp35 antagonist is an anti-Sp35 antibody.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the mammal is a human.
