METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATMENT OF ANTIBODY MEDIATED NEUROPATHIES

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and compositions for treatment of antibody mediated neuropathies.SOLUTION: The use of a therapeutic capable of inhibiting complement, e.g., an anti-C5 antibody, to treat antibody mediated neuropathies is disclosed. There is a great need for additional treatments to improve symptoms and decrease recovery time of antibody mediated neuropathies. Methods and compositions for treating patients suffering from antibody-mediated neuropathies are presented. In certain embodiments, a method of treating an antibody mediated neuropathy in a mammal comprises a step of administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of a complement cascade inhibitor.
