Abstract
The present invention provides methods for modulating SET activity by contacting SET with a binding agent such as an ApoE peptide derivative. In one embodiment of the invention, a pharmaceutical composition capable of modulating SET activity is administered to a patient for the treatment of an inflammatory or neurological condition. In another embodiment of the invention, compounds efficacious for the treatment of inflammatory and neurological conditions are identified by screening for a binding agent capable of competing with or inhibiting the binding of an ApoE derivative to SET.
