摘要:
The invention concerns anti-NGF antibodies (such as anti-NGF antagonist antibodies), and polynucleotides encoding the same. The invention further concerns use of such antibodies and/or polynucleotides in the treatment and/or prevention of pain, including post-surgical pain, rheumatoid arthritis pain, and osteoarthritis pain.

摘要:
The present invention relates generally to methods of using anti-NGF antibodies in the treatment of various NGF-related disorders, including asthma, arthritis and psoriasis. The methods are effective in treating these disorder in a patient without having a significant adverse effect on the immune system of the patient.
摘要:
The invention features methods and compositions for preventing or treating bone cancer pain including cancer pain associated with bone metastasis by administering an antagonist of nerve growth factor (NGF). The NGF antagonist may be an anti-NGF (such as anti-hNGF) antibody that is capable of binding hNGF.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides and to nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides of the present invention fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides of the present invention and to methods for producing the polypeptides of the present invention.
摘要:
The invention concerns agonist anti-trkC monoclonal antoibodies which mimic certain biological activities of NT-3, the native ligand of trkC. The invention further concerns the use of such antibodies in the prevention and/or treatment of cellular degeneration, including nerve cell damage associated with acute nervous cell system injury and chronic neurodegenerative diseases, including peripheral neuropathy.
摘要:
An assay for measuring activation (i.e., autophosphorylation) of a tyrosine kinase receptor of interest is disclosed.(a) A first solid phase is coated with a substantially homogeneous population of cells so that the cells adhere to the first solid phase. The cells have either an endogenous tyrosine kinase receptor or have been transformed with DNA encoding a receptor or "receptor construct" and the DNA has been expressed so that the receptor or receptor construct is presented in the cell membranes of the cells.(b) A ligand is then added to the solid phase having the adhering cells, such that the tyrosine kinase receptor is exposed to the ligand.(c) Following exposure to the ligand, the adherent cells are solubilized, thereby releasing cell lysate.(d) A second solid phase is coated with a capture agent which binds specifically to the tyrosine kinase receptor, or, in the case of a receptor construct, to the flag polypeptide.(e) The cell lysate obtained in step (c) is added to the wells containing the adhering capture agent so as to capture the receptor or receptor construct to the wells.(f) A washing step is then carried out, so as to remove unbound cell lysate, leaving the captured receptor or receptor construct.(g) The captured receptor or receptor construct is exposed to a labelled anti-phosphotyrosine antibody which identifies phosphorylated residues in the tyrosine kinase receptor.(h) Binding of the anti-phosphotyrosine antibody to the captured receptor or receptor construct is measured.
摘要:
A clear, therapeutic hair care composition is presented having a low pH and useful in the local treatment of dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis of the scalp which resists oxidative decomposition. The shampoo is comprised of a detergent shampoo base, a therapeutic amount of a keratolytic agent and a keratolytic stabilizing agent to stabilize the keratolytic agent against oxidative decoloration decomposition catalyzed by ultraviolet radiation exposure. The keratolytic agent is preferably a salicylate and preferably salicylic acid and the keratolytic stabilizing agent is a tertiary amine.

摘要:
The present invention features methods for treating or preventing pain comprising administering an amount of a nerve growth factor antagonist (such as an anti-NGF antibody) and an amount of an NSAID such that together they provide effective pain relief. The invention also features compositions comprising a nerve growth factor antagonist and an NSAID and kits containing the same.
