The present invention provides a therapy for treating neuropathic pain by subpial administration of small quantities of a composition for spinal segment-specific upregulation of GAD65 (glutamatedecarboxylase) gene and VGAT (vesicular GABA transporter) gene, which is effective for induction of nociceptive effects by potentiating release of vesicular GABA from infected dorsal horn neurons into the synaptic cleft.

The present specification discloses SNAP-25 compositions, methods of making α-SNAP-25 antibodies that bind an epitope comprising a carboxyl-terminus at the P.sub.1 residue from the BoNT/A cleavage site scissile bond from a SNAP-25 cleavage product, α-SNAP-25 antibodies that bind an epitope comprising a carboxyl-terminus at the P.sub.1 residue from the BoNT/A cleavage site scissile bond from a SNAP-25 cleavage product, methods of detecting BoNT/A activity, and methods of detecting neutralizing α-BoNT/A antibodies.

The present invention is drawn to novel topiramate compositions as well as methods for effecting weight loss, e.g., in the treatment of obesity and related conditions, including conditions associated with and/or caused by obesity per se. The present invention features an escalating dosing regimen adapted for the administration of topiramate and optionally a sympathomimetic agent such as phentermine or bupropion, in the treatment of obesity and related conditions.

The present embodiments are directed, in part, to compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof for modulating the activity of S.sub.1P.sub.1 receptor and methods of using the same.

The present invention relates to methods of preventing or treating a congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) in a subject, wherein the CMS is (a) congenital myasthenic syndrome associated with AChR deficiency or (b) fast-channel congenital myasthenic syndrome (FCCMS), the method comprising administering an effective amount of a DOK7 gene or a Dok-7 polypeptide, preferably a rAAV-DOK7 vector, to a subject in need thereof. The invention also relates to products for use in such methods.

The invention provides anti-cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) antibodies and methods of using the same.
