Repair of nerve damage

   
   

The invention provides a method of treating nerve damage involving administering to the damaged nerve an effective non-toxic amount of an MGF (mechano-growth factor) Insulin-like Growth Factor I (IGF-I) isoform which includes amino acid sequences encoded by nucleic acid sequences of IGF-I exons 4, 5 and 6 in the reading frame of MGF and having the ability to reduce motoneurone loss by 20% or greater in response to nerve avulsion.

L'invention fournit une méthode de traiter des dommages de nerf impliquant administrant au nerf endommagé par quantité non-toxique efficace d'un MGF (facteur de mechano-croissance) Insuline-comme l'isoform du facteur I de croissance (IGF-I) qui inclut des ordres d'acide aminé codés par des ordres d'acide nucléique des exons d'IGF-I 4, 5 et 6 dans l'armature de lecture de MGF et d'avoir la capacité de réduire la perte de motoneurone de 20% ou plus grand en réponse à l'avulsion de nerf.
