Methods of suppressing the activation of microglial cells in the Central Nervous System (CNS), methods of ameliorating or treating the neurological effects of cerebral ischemia or cerebral inflammation, and methods of combating specific diseases that affect the CNS by administering a compound that binds to microglial receptors and prevents or reduces microglial activation are described. ApoE receptor binding peptides that may be used in the methods of the invention are also described, as are methods of using such peptides to treat peripheral inflammatory conditions such as sepsis. Also described are methods of screening compounds for the ability to suppress or reduce microglial activation.

L'invention concerne des méthodes permettant de supprimer l'activation de cellules microgliales dans le système nerveux central (SNC), des méthodes permettant d'améliorer ou de traiter les effets neurologiques de l'ischémie cérébrale ou d'une inflammation cérébrale, et des méthodes permettant de lutter contre des maladies spécifiques affectant le SNC, par l'administration d'un composé qui se fixe aux récepteurs microgliaux et supprime ou réduit l'activation microgliale. L'invention a également trait à des peptides apo E de liaison de récepteur, qui peuvent être utilisés dans les méthodes selon l'invention, ainsi qu'à des procédés d'utilisation de tels peptides pour le traitement d'états inflammatoires périphériques, tels que la sepsie. L'invention se rapporte aussi à des méthodes de criblage de composés, afin de déterminer la capacité de ces derniers à supprimer ou réduire l'activation microgliale.
