Treatment of pain using protein solutions
First Claim
1. A method for treating osteoarthritis pain in a mammalian subject, comprising locally administering to or near a site of osteoarthritis pain in the subject a composition comprising interleukin-1receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) at a concentration of at least 10,000 pg/ml, soluble tumor necrosis factor-receptor I (sTNF-RI) at a concentration of at least 1,200 pg/ml, soluble interleukin-1 receptor II (sIL-1RII) at a concentration of at least 15,000 pg/ml, and at least two proteins selected from the group consisting of epidermal growth factor (EGF) at a concentration of at least 800 pg/ml, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) at a concentration of at least 1,000 pg/ml, platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) at a concentration of at least 10,000 pg/ml, soluble tumor necrosis factor-receptor II (sTNF-RII) at a concentration of at least 3,000 pg/ml, platelet-derived growth factor-AB (PDGF-AB) at a concentration of at least 35,00 pg/ml, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) at a concentration of at least 500 pg/ml, and transforming growth factor-β
- 1 (TGF-β
1) at a concentration of at least 100,000 pg/ml, wherein treating pain includes reducing pain or eliminating pain at or near the site of administration of the composition.

7. A method for treating pain associated with osteoarthritis in a mammalian subject, comprising:
-
obtaining a cytokine-cell suspension from the subject; processing the suspension to produce an protein solution comprising soluble interleukin-1receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) at a concentration of at least 10,000 pg/ml, soluble interleukin-1receptor II (sIL-1RII) at a concentration of at least 15,000 pg/ml, soluble tumor necrosis factor-receptor II (sTNF-RII) at a concentration of at least 3,000 pg/ml, and white blood cells at a concentration of at least 15,000/μ
l; andadministering the protein solution directly to or near a site of osteoarthritis pain in the subject, wherein treating pain includes reducing pain or eliminating pain at or near the site of administration of the protein solution. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
