In some embodiments the inventive monoclonal antibodies cross-react with murine TrkB. Humanized or veneered versions of the inventive antibodies are also encompassed. Pharmaceutical compositions that comprise inventive antibodies are provided as are methods for preparing the inventive antibodies and methods of using these for treatment, detection or purification purposes.
