Embodiment Construction

[0026] A series of EphB1 mRNA expression profiles were analyzed on various cell types to determine the tissues in which EphB1 mRNA was expressed and the relative expression levels.

[0027] EphB1 mRNA levels were found to be enriched in oligodendrocytes. Figure 1 is a bar graph depicting the relative expression levels of EphB1 mRNA in four cell types: mature oligodendrocytes ("OL"), oligodendrocyte progenitors ("OLP"), astrocytes, and small Glial cells. Measurement of EphB1 expression was performed using a real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. RT-PCR is a well-established fluorescence-based quantitative assay of steady-state mRNA levels in the art. In the RT-PCR assay, EphB1 mRNA was reverse transcribed and amplified using PCR. PCR was performed using probes containing a fluorophore and a quencher specially designed so that the fluorophore dissociates from its quencher in each round of amplification such that the level of fluorescence inc...

Abstract

Methods of identifying and using compounds capable of treating demyelinating disorders such as multiple sclerosis by inhibiting EphB1-mediated cell repulsion of CNS and PNS glial cells (oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells and progenitor cells within these lineages).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of treatment of multiple sclerosis, in particular by inhibiting EphB1-mediated cellular rejection of CNS and peripheral glial cells (oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells) and progenitor cells within these lineages. The field of sexual sclerosis. Background technique [0002] All documents cited are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. [0003] The erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular ("Eph") receptors are a family of receptor tyrosine kinases that contain an extracellular domain as well as an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain, the The extracellular domain has a unique cysteine-rich motif as well as two fibronectin type III motifs (Connor RJ and Pasquale EB (1995) Oncogene 11:2429-381995), the intracellular tyrosine kinase The domain is involved in signal transduction (Vindis et al., J Cell Biol. 2003 Aug 18;162(4):661-71). Eph receptors are involved in neurodevelopment and physiology and ...
