Abstract: Disclosed is the use of an agent (e.g., antibody fragment, antagonist, ligand, dAb monomer) that binds a target in pulmonary tissue for the manufacture of a long action or long therapeutic window formulation for local delivery to pulmonary tissue, and methods for administering an agent that binds a target in pulmonary tissue to a subject to produce a long therapeutic window in pulmonary tissue. The formulation is for, and the method comprises, administering locally to pulmonary tissue. Also disclosed is the use of antagonists of TNFR1 for the manufacture of a formulation or medicament for treating, preventing or suppressing lung inflammation or a respiratory disease, and methods of treating such diseases. Also disclosed arc the use of agents a for the manufacture of a delivery device (e.g.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for treating inflammatory diseases (e.g., chronic inflammatory diseases) comprising administering an antagonist of Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 1. The invention also provides ligands that contain an immunoglobulin single variable domain (domain antibody, dAb) monomer that binds Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 1, and methods of using the ligands. Also provided are nucleic acids encoding the ligands, recombinant host cells and methods for preparing the ligands.
