Abstract: The subject invention relates to isolated proteins, particularly monoclonal antibodies, which bind to the Nogo-66 receptor. Specifically, these antibodies have the ability to inhibit the binding of the natural ligand of the Nogo-66 receptor and neutralize the Nogo-66 receptor. These antibodies or portions thereof of the invention are useful for detecting NgR and for inhibiting NgR activity, for example in a human suffering from a disorder in which NgR or Nogo-66 activity is detrimental.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification, functionality and use of domains from the N terminus of the receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (AGER). These domains, called receptor mulitimerization epitope (RME), are highly conserved in all AGER protein sequences. They represent the mediators for AGER self-association and heteromerization with other proteins. The invention likewise relates to the identification, functionality and use of peptides derived from the C domain of AGER (AGER-CDP). The AGER RMEs and AGER-CDPs of the invention are suitable as target for identifying AGER ligands which modulate the natural ligand interaction; as immunogen for active or passive immunization of individuals, as diagnostic means for identifying immunogenic reactions, and as peptide ligands for modulating protein-protein interactions involving AGER.
