Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for applying an fragment of a neurotoxin such as the active light chain (LC) of the botulinum toxin (BoNT), such as one of the serotype A, B, C, D, E, F or G botulinum toxins, via permeabilization of targeted cell membranes to enable translocation of the botulinum neurotoxin light chain (BoNT-LC) molecule across the targeted cell membrane to the cell cytosol where a therapeutic response is produced in a mammalian system. The methods and apparatus include use of catheter based delivery systems, non-invasive delivery systems, and transdermal delivery systems.

Claim (Index 21):
A device for altering function of a bronchial airway of a patient by controlling mucus secretion, the device comprising:\n a main catheter body configured to extend though a trachea into the bronchial airway; and at least one energy applicator having at least one energy emitter configured to emit energy relative to the main catheter body, wherein the device is adapted to deliver energy from the at least one energy emitter to produce an energy field concentrated in a target region in a wall of the bronchial airway in a first lateral direction from the catheter body to alter cells within the target region.
