    摘要: The present invention relates to the treatment of pain and to compounds that modulate C-fibre activity. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of a lectin in the manufacture of a medicament for modulation of C-fibre neuron activity, and to lectin conjugates. The lectin conjugates comprise a lectin coupled to a peptide or protein, wherein the peptide or protein is substantially free of Clostridial neurotoxin enzyme activity. The present invention also concerns methods for manufacturing conjugates. The compounds and compositions described have particular application in the treatment of diseases of which C-fibre activity is a component. Such diseases include pain, inflamation, psoriasis and other C-fibre related conditions.

    摘要: Toxin derivatives are prepared by proteolytic treatment of holotoxin, and their toxicity is reduced by contacting the preparation with a ligand, which can be a metal or an antibody or another ligand. This ligand selectively binds to the toxin but not to the toxin derivative. Removing the ligand and toxin bound to the ligand further reduces toxicity. A second ligand is used to remove conjugates of the toxin and the first ligand. Compositions contain the purified derivative, optionally plus the toxin and the ligand.
