  • Publication number: 20210277097
    Abstract: The present application describes RGM A binding proteins, particularly monoclonal antibodies, and in particular CDR grafted, humanized versions thereof, which have the ability to bind to RGM A and prevent binding of RGM proteins to RGM A receptor and other RGM A binding proteins, and therefore neutralize the function of RGM A, for use in the treatment of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) degeneration as well as methods of therapeutically or prophylactically treating a mammal against RNFL degeneration.

  • Publication number: 20210230260
    Abstract: The subject invention relates to isolated proteins, particularly monoclonal antibodies, which bind and neutralize RGM A protein. Specifically, these antibodies have the ability to inhibit the binding of RGM A to its receptor and/or coreceptors. These antibodies or portions thereof of the invention are useful for detecting RGM A and for inhibiting RGM A activity, for example in a human suffering from a disorder including but nor limited to multiple sclerosis, mammalian brain trauma, spinal cord injury, stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, and schizophrenia.
