Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for treating a subject suffering from a deficiency in ?-L-Iduronidase in the CNS. The methods include systemic administration of a bifunctional fusion antibody comprising an antibody to a human insulin receptor and an ?-L-Iduronidase. A therapeutically effective systemic dose is based on the specific CNS uptake characteristics of human insulin receptor antibody-?-L-Iduronidase fusion antibodies as described herein.
Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and related methods for delivering an IgG-decoy receptor to the CNS. The methods include systemic administration of a bifunctional decoy receptor-BBB receptor antibody fusion antibody comprising a receptor extracellular domain (ECD) covalently linked to an antibody to a receptor expressed on the surface of the blood-brain barrier (BBB receptor). In some embodiments, the compositions described herein are administered to treat a subject suffering from a CNS condition.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for treating a subject suffering from an enzyme deficiency in the central nervous system (CNS). The bifunctional fusion antibodies provided herein comprise an antibody to an endogenous blood brain barrier (BBB) receptor and an enzyme deficient in mucopolysaccharidosis III (MPS-III). The fusion antibodies provided herein comprise N-sulfoglucosamine sulfohydrolase (SGSH), alpha-N-acetylgulcosaminidase (NAGLU), heparin-alpha-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase (HGSNAT), or N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase (GNS). The methods of treating an enzyme deficiency in the CNS comprise systemic administration of a fusion antibody provided herein.
Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for treating a subject suffering from a deficiency in arylsulfatase A in the CNS. The methods include systemic administration of a bifunctional fusion antibody comprising an antibody to a human insulin receptor and an arylsulfatase A.
Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for treating a subject suffering from a deficiency in arylsulfatase A in the CNS. The methods include systemic administration of a bifunctional fusion antibody comprising an antibody to a human insulin receptor and an arylsulfatase A.
Abstract: The invention provides diagnostic and therapeutic macromolecular compositions that cross the blood-brain barrier, in some embodiments in both directions, while allowing their activity to remain substantially intact once across the barrier. Also provided are methods for using such compositions in the diagnosis or treatment of CNS disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for treating a subject suffering from a deficiency in iduronate 2-sulfatase in the CNS. The methods include systemic administration of a bifunctional fusion antibody comprising an antibody that crosses the blood brain barrier (BBB) and an iduronate 2-sulfatase.
Abstract: The invention provides compositions, methods, and kits for increasing transport of GDNF across the blood brain barrier while allowing its activity to remain substantially intact. The GDNF is transported across the blood brain barrier via one or more endogenous receptor-mediated transport systems.
Abstract: Provided herein are compositions for increasing transport of agents across the blood-brain barrier, in some embodiments in both directions, while allowing their activity once across the barrier to remain substantially intact.
