Abstract
Disclosed is the characterization and purification of DNA encoding polypeptides useful for the stimulation of glial cell mitogenesis. Methods for the synthesis, purification and testing of both known and novel polypeptides for their use as both therapeutic and diagnostic aids in the treatment of diseases involving glial cells are also provided. Methods are also provided for the use of these polypeptides in the prevention or treatment of multiple sclerosis.
