Abstract:
Specific binding members, particularly human antibodies,
particularly recombinant antibodies, and fragments thereof, which are
capable of binding to and recognizing neurons in the CNS and eliciting
responses in CNS neurons are provided. The antibodies are useful in the
diagnosis and treatment of conditions associated with nerve damage,
injury or degeneration and neurodegenerative disease, and in particular
in the treatment or alleviation of stroke or cerebral ischemia. The
antibodies, variable regions or CDR domain sequences thereof, and
fragments thereof of the invention may also be used in therapy in
combination with chemotherapeutics, immune modulators, or neuroactive
agents and/or with other antibodies or fragments thereof. The antibodies
or active fragments thereof may be used in therapy for stroke or
cerebral ischemia alone or in combination with thrombolytics such as
TPA. Antibodies are exemplified by the antibodies IgM12 and IgM42 whose
sequences are provided herein.
