摘要:
The invention relates to treatment of heart failure in a mammal. Accordingly, the invention is directed to establishing a dosing regimen whereby the therapeutic benefits conferred by administration of a neuregulin such as glial growth factor 2 (GGF2) or a subsequence thereof are maintained and/or enhanced, while concomitantly minimizing any potential side effects.

The invention relates to treatment and prevention of heart failure in a mammal. The invention provides a dosing regimen whereby the therapeutic benefits conferred by administration of peptide comprising an epidermal growth factor-like domain, e.g., a neuregulin such as glial growth factor 2 (GGF2) or a functional fragment thereof, are maintained and/or enhanced, while concomitantly minimizing any potential side effects.
摘要:
The present invention relates to administering glial growth factor 2 (GGF2) to a patient in need thereof, to achieve serum levels of GGF2 within a desired therapeutic window determined based on the disease or disorder afflicting the patient. In a particular embodiment, the patient is suffering from a disease or disorder associated with reduced levels of myelination and the GGF2 is administered to promote myelination in the patient.
摘要:
A method for modifying access of cells to extravascular spaces and regions comprising administering to a patient an enzyme that cleaves chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans is provided. It has been found that administration of an enzyme that cleaves chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans to a patient disrupts extravasation of cells from the blood stream into tissue. The present invention provides methods of reducing penetration of cells associated with inflammation into tissue of a patient. Several methods are also provided for the regulation and suppression of inflammation comprising administering enzymes that digest chondroitin sulfates. Also provided are methods of treating and preventing inflammation associated with infection, injury and disease.
摘要:
One aspect of the present invention relates to mutants of chondroitinase ABCI. Such chondroitinase ABCI mutants exhibit altered chondroitin lyase activity or increased resistance to inactivation from stressors including exposure to UV light or heat. Methods of using chondroitinase ABCI mutant enzymes are also provided.
