MODULATING CYTOKINE OR HORMONE SIGNALLING IN AN ANIMAL COMPRISING UP-REGULATING THE EXPRESSION OF SOCS SEQUENCE IN THE ANIMAL

摘要

The present invention relates generally to a method for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of conditions arising from or otherwise associated with aberrations in hormone signalling. More particularly, the present invention contemplates a method for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of conditions, the amelioration of symptoms of which, are facilitated by an over-expression of a gene encoding a suppressor of cytokine signalling molecule. The present invention further contemplates agents useful for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of such renditions in mammals including humans.
