use of anti hbp antibody for the inhibition of the release of bradykinin

摘要

The invention is related to a method for treating or preventing a disorder resulting from the release of bradykinin in said mammal, particularly a mammal which produces an HBP which binds to an HBP antagonist, e.g. a monoclonal antibody that binds to at least one epitope of human HBP, comprising administering to said mammal an HBP antagonist in an amount effective to decrease the release of bradykinin in a mammal. Furthermore, the invention is directed to methods and kits for determining if a mammal produces HBP that binds to an HBP antagonist, e.g., a monoclonal antibody that binds to at least one epitope of human HBP and a method for detecting an antagonist of HBP.
