Methods of antagonizing signal transduction in dorsal root ganglion cells
First Claim
1. A method of antagonizing signal transduction in dorsal root ganglion cells in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering a monoclonal antibody or a binding fragment thereof to the subject, wherein the monoclonal antibody or binding fragment thereof specifically binds to a first receptor consisting of amino acid residues 1-662 of SEQ ID NO:
- 8, or a second receptor consisting of amino acid residues 1-979 of SEQ ID NO;
16, or a heterodimeric receptor comprising the first and second receptors, and wherein after administration the signal transduction is reduced.

Abstract
Use of antagonists to IL-31Ra and OSMRb are used to treat inflammation and pain by inhibiting, preventing, reducing, minimizing, limiting or minimizing stimulation in neuronal tissues. Such antagonists include soluble receptors, antibodies and fragments, derivative, or variants thereof. Symptoms such as pain, tingle, sensitization, tickle associated with neuropathies are ameliorated.
