EYE-DROP VACCINE CONTAINING COPOLYMER 1 FOR THERAPEUTIC IMMUNIZATION

摘要

The invention provides an eye-drop vaccine for therapeutic immunization of amammal comprising Copolymer 1, a Copolymer 1-related peptide, or a Copolymer 1-related polypeptide, for treating neuronal degeneration caused by an injury ordisease, disorder or condition in the central nervous system (CNS) orperipheral nervous system (PNS), for preventing or inhibiting neuronalsecondary degeneration which may otherwise follow primary injury in the CNS,for promoting nerve regeneration in the CNS or in the PNS after an injury,disease, disorder or condition or for protecting CNS and PNS cells fromglutamate toxicity.
