Modulation of VEGF-C/VEGFR-3 interactions in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis

摘要

The present invention relates to methods for treating an individual exhibiting symptoms of chronic arthridites, as identified by an elevated level of VEGF-C expression at synovial sites, and provides materials and methods for the modulation of VEGF-C/VEGFR-3 ligand-receptor interactions as a treatment for chronic arthridites.
