TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATORY CONDITIONS BY MODULATION OF HYALURONAN AND HYALURONIDASE ACTIVITY

摘要

The present invention describes compositions and related methods and kits for treating a variety of inflammatory conditions and infections. The therapeutic compositions include certain hyaluronidases capable of generating hyaluronan disaccharides when combined with hyaluronan, and/or the hyaluronan disaccharides themselves, and/or inflammatory hyaluronidase inhibitors.
