Competing Interests
The authors have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: Martin Pearse is an employee of CSL Limited and who, for the studies described in this manuscript, coordinated the production and quality control of gram quantities of the EphA4-Fc blocker from the EphA4-Fc expression construct as detailed in the methods and provided by Andrew Boyd. Yona Goldshmit, Ann Turnley, Mary Galea, Andrew Boyd and Perry Bartlett have submitted a patent application regarding the use of EphA4 blockers in neural injury, which was sponsored by CSL Ltd (PCT/AU2005/001363). This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
