METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING SYSTEMIC MASTOCYTOSIS

摘要

The invention provides methods and compositions for the prevention and treatment of advanced systemic mastocytosis such as systemic mastocytosis with an associated hematologic non-mast-cell lineage disease (SM-AHNMD). In particular, the invention provides methods for the prevention and treatment of advanced systemic mastocytosis through administration of antibodies or agonists that bind to human Siglec-8 or compositions comprising said antibodies or agonists. The invention also provides articles of manufacture or kits comprising antibodies or agonists that bind to human Siglec-8 for the prevention and treatment of advanced systemic mastocytosis such as SM-AHNMD.
