Compositions and methods to promote nerve regeneration or to confer neuroprotection and prevent or inhibit neuronal degeneration within the nervous system, either the central nervous system or the peripheral nervous system, are provided. Treatment involves administering NS-specific activated T cells, or an NS-specific antigen or analog thereof, a peptide derived therefrom or an analog or derivative of said peptide, or a nucleotide sequence encoding such an antigen or peptide, or any combination thereof.

Method for reducing neuronal degeneration so as to ameliorate the effects of injury or disease

Methods and compositions are provided for preventing or inhibiting neuronal degeneration, or for promoting nerve regeneration, in the central nervous system (CNS) or peripheral nervous system (PNS), or for protecting nerves from glutamate toxicity, which comprises administering to an individual in need thereof an effective amount of the copolymer poly-Glu,Tyr.

Poly-Glu,Tyr for neuroprotective therapy

Methods and compositions are provided for preventing or inhibiting neuronal degeneration, or for promoting nerve regeneration, in the central nervous system (CNS) or peripheral nervous system (PNS), or for protecting CNS cells from glutamate toxicity, comprising an effective amount of an agent selected from the group consisting of (a) poly-Glu,Tyr and (b) T cells which have been activated by poly-Glue,Tyr.
