<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new, safe and effective method for treating pain by way of targeting a mediator or an exacerbator of pain of a low molecular weight such as NGF. <P>SOLUTION: Antibodies interact with or bind to a human nerve growth factor (NGF) and thereby neutralize the function of NGF, a pharmaceutical composition of the above antibodies, a method for neutralizing NGF function, and particularly for treating NGF-related disorders (e.g., chronic pain) by administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of anti-NGF antibodies, and a method of determining the amount of NGF in a sample using anti-NGF antibodies. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
