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.
