1. A nucleic acid molecule comprising a polynucleotide sequence that encodes a heavy chain variable region (HCVR) or a polynucleotide sequence that encodes a light chain variable region (LCVR) of a monoclonal antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to artemin, wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof comprises:
three heavy chain complementarity determining regions (CDRs) (HCDR1, HCDR2 and HCDR3) contained within the HCVR sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 22, SEQ ID NO: 42 or SEQ ID NO: 62; and
three light chain CDRs (LCDR1, LCDR2 and LCDR3) contained within the LCVR sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 10, SEQ ID NO: 30, SEQ ID NO: 50 or SEQ ID NO: 70.
