21. A method of reducing one or both of osteoarthritis and pain associated with osteoarthritis in a human subject, the method comprising
administering to the human subject a binding protein that binds both IL-1α - and IL-1β
,wherein administering the binding protein is performed using a dose of between about 1 to about 3 mg/kg of weight of the binding protein to weight of the individual, or wherein administering the binding protein is performed using a dose of between about 100 mg and about 200 mg of the binding protein, and wherein a decrease in one or more biomarker levels selected from the group consisting of hsCRP, C1M, C3M and C-reactive protein CRPM is observed in the subject after receiving one or more doses of the binding protein that binds both IL-1α and
IL-1β
relative to the one or more biomarker levels in the subject prior to receiving the one or more doses of the binding protein that binds both IL-1α and
IL-1β
, to reduce one or both of the osteoarthritis and the pain associated with osteoarthritis. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 28)
