Abstract
The present invention relates to an agonistic anti-human TrkA mAb 5C3 which recognizes the NGF docking site. Such antibodies may be used for the treatment, diagnosis or prevention of neurological diseases, neuromas and neoplastic tumors which express TrkA receptors. Also these antibodies may be used to develop and screen for pharmaceutical agents which are agonistic or antagonistic to NGF binding to the TrkA receptors.
