The present disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind to human FAM19A5 and compositions comprising such antibodies. In a specific aspect, the antibodies specifically bind to human FAM19A5 and modulate FAM19A5 activity, e.g., inhibit, suppress, reduce, or reverse the onset of reactive gliosis and/or excessive proliferation of reactive astrocytes, utilizing such antibodies. The present disclosure also provides methods for treating disorders, such as central nervous system damage, a degenerative brain disorder, or a neuropathic pain, by administering an antibody that specifically binds to human FAM19A5.

Anti-family with sequence similarity 19, member A5 antibodies and method of use thereof

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention and treatment of blood-brain barrier disorder and central nervous system diseases containing fluoxetine and vitamin C as active ingredients. Specifically, when low concentration of fluoxetine and vitamin C, which did not show any improved effect on the blood-brain barrier disorder and disruption of blood-spinal cord barrier when administered alone, were mixed and co-administered to an animal model with spinal cord injury and transient global ischemia, the co-administration significantly increased the effect of inhibiting the increase of permeability of blood-spinal cord barrier and the effect of inhibiting MMP-9 activation and the effect of alleviating the influx of blood cells in an animal model with spinal cord injury; and the effect of inhibiting the disruption of blood-brain barrier and the effect of recovering memory in a transient global ischemia animal model, compared to the single administration of fluoxetine or vitamin C at the same concentration. The results indicate the synergy effect and the decrease of side effects by the co-administration of the compound at a low concentration, and thus fluoxetine and vitamin C of the present invention can be effectively used as active ingredients for a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention and treatment blood-brain barrier disorder and central nervous system diseases.
