Abstract
The present invention relates to a bi-specific antibody that specifically binds to alpha-synuclein and IGF1R, and use of the bi-specific antibody for treating or diagnosing synucleinopathies associated with alpha-synuclein or alpha-synuclein aggregates. The IGF1R portion of the bi-specific antibody acts as a shuttle to penetrate the blood brain barrier, allowing the alpha-synuclein portion to exert its action in the brain. Further, the half-life of the bi-specific antibody may be extended to maintain efficacy over time.
