Abstract
The invention provides compositions, methods, and kits for increasing transport of a neurotrophin (e.g., erythropoietin (EPO)) across the blood brain barrier while allowing its activity to remain substantially intact. The neurotrophin (e.g., EPO) is transported across the blood brain barrier via one or more endogenous receptor-mediated transport systems.
