    Abstract: Compounds which can stimulate neuronal growth by inhibiting the neuronal inhibitory activity of myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), and a method of using the compounds for stimulating neuronal growth are provided. The invention further provides a method of identifying compounds which inhibit myelin-associated glycoprotein inhibition of axonal outgrowth of injured nerve cells. The method involves contacting the compound with myelin-associated glycoprotein under conditions which allow myelin-associated glycoprotein and the compound to bind and detecting the binding.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 10, 1998
