Abstract
A method is described comprising the combined administration of a novel composition comprising serum complement proteins with complement-fixing antibodies to induce transient disruption of myelin and/or demyelination. The antibodies specifically bind to one or more epitopes of myelin, and complement proteins. A method is also described for promoting regrowth, repair, and regeneration of neurons in a mammalian subject. The methods can be used following immediate or chronic injury.
