Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine effects of degrading chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan with Ch'ase ABC in the injured spinal cords of adult cats is assessed. Recovery of skilled locomotion (ladder, peg, and beam) is significantly accelerated in Ch'ase ABC-treated cats compared to controls. Ch'ase ABC-treated cats also show greater recovery of specific skilled locomotor features including intralimb movement patterns and significantly greater paw placement onto pegs. These findings show that intraspinal cleavage of CS GAGs can enhance recovery of function following spinal cord injury in large animals with sophisticated motor behaviors and axonal growth requirements similar to those encountered in humans Proteus vulgaris
