We investigated the anti-hyperalgesic effect of neutralizing antibodies (AB) to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) in two murine models of neuropathy, the chronic constrictive sciatic nerve injury (CCI) which has a strong epineurial inflammatory component, and the partial sciatic nerve transection (PST), a 'pure' nerve injury model. In both models a single AB injection intra-operatively as well as on day 4 reduced thermal hyperalgesia significantly, whereas mechanical allodynia was only reduced with intraoperative but not with delayed treatment.
