摘要:
The present invention is directed to methods for treating diarrhea, both chronic or acute forms, by the administration of a therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount of antibodies and fragments thereof having binding specificity for CGRP. In particular the methods prevent or reduce diarrhea in conditions or treatments resulting in elevated CGRP levels, e.g., in the GI tract (colon) that are associated with diarrhea and/or improper electrolyte and fluid excretion from the bowel or urinary system. More specifically, this invention relates to treatments using the anti-CGRP antibodies and fragments described herein, and binding fragments thereof.

This invention relates to methods of screening for anti-PACAP antibodies, or anti-PACAP receptor antibodies, and antigen binding fragments thereof, for potential use in treating or preventing PACAP-associated photophobia or light aversion, and therapeutic compositions containing and methods of using anti-PACAP antibodies, or anti-PACAP receptor antibodies, and antigen binding fragments thereof.

摘要:
The present invention also provides assays using transgenic Nestin/Ramp1 rodents, utilizing a CGRP model light aversive behavior model for identifying therapeutically effective anti-CGRP antibodies and fragments thereof having binding specificity for CGRP which inhibit or prevent photophobia in subjects in need thereof. The present invention is specifically directed to methods for identifying therapeutically effective antibodies and fragments thereof having binding specificity for CGRP that may be used to treat CGRP associated disorders such as migraine. Specifically, this invention relates to assays and therapies using the antibodies described herein to inhibit or prevent photophobia, and binding fragments thereof, comprising the sequences of the VH, VL and CDR polypeptides described herein, and the polynucleotides encoding them.
