Despite the efficacy of current anti-epileptic drugs, almost 30%of patients with epilepsy are refractory to medical treatment, have progressive cognitive impairment, and may require neurosurgical resection of the epileptic focus to alleviate seizure recurrence. Although the exact cellular and molecular mechanisms of epileptogenesis are not clear, it is postulated that focal or systemic unregulated inflammatory processes lead to aberrant neural connectivity and the hyper-excitable neuronal network, which mediate the onset of epilepsy. Epileptogenesis is associated with an increased and persistent inflammatory state in the microenvironment of neural tissues, which can lead to the production of cytokines by glial cells and neurons. A safe and efficient treatment of epilepsy and / or related neurological disorders is highly needed.SUMMARYIn one aspect, provided herein is an antibody or a binding fragment thereof that binds to Galectin-3, wherein the antibody comprises: a heavy chain variable (VH) region comprising: a HCDR1 amino acid sequence at least 70% identical to any one of SEQ ID NOS: 1-21 and 370-389, a HCDR2 amino acid sequence at least 70% identical to any one of SEQ ID NOS: 22-42 and 390-417, and / or a HCDR3 amino acid sequence at least 70% identical to any one of SEQ ID NOS: 43-63 and 418-439, and / or a light chain variable (VL) region comprising: a LCDR1 amino acid sequence at least 70% identical to any one of SEQ ID NOS: 169-189 and 440-462, a LCDR2 amino acid sequence at least 70% identical to any one of SEQ ID NOS: 190-210 and 463-480, and / or a LCDR3 amino acid sequence at least 70% identical to any one of SEQ ID NOS: 211-231 and 481-507.

IntroductionThe present disclosure provides compositions and methods for treating epilepsy and / or related diseases such as neurological disorders (e.g., AD) . In particular, disclosed herein are anti-Galectin-3 antibodies and the use of these antibodies for epilepsy and / or related disease treatment.Galectin-3 (GAL-3) plays a diverse role in biological processes including cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, apoptosis, tumor progression, and inflammation, especially in neuroinflammation. The inventor has discovered that anti-GAL-3 antibodies can significantly decrease pro-inflammatory cytokine (e.g., tumor necrosis factor-a (TNFα) ) , in LPS-stimulated microglia cells, and inhibit microglial activation in kainic acid (KA) -stimulated microglia BV2 cells, concluding that targeting GAL-3 with anti-GAL-3 antibodies may offer therapeutic benefits in epilepsy and related neurological disorders by suppressing neuroinflammation and reducing microglial activation.II. DefinitionsUnless specifically indicated otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. In addition, any method or material similar or equivalent to a method or material described herein can be used in the practice of the present disclosure. For purposes of the present disclosure, the following terms are defined.The terms “a, ” “an, ” or “the” as used herein not only include aspects with one member, but also include aspects with more than one member. For instance, the singular forms “a, ” “an, ” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “a cell” includes a plurality of such cells and reference to “the agent” includes reference to one or more agents known to those skilled in the art, and so forth.The terms “about” and “approximately” shall generally mean an acceptable degree of error for the quantity measured given the nature or precision of the measurements. Typical, exemplary degrees of error are within 20 percent (%) , preferably within 10%, and more preferably within 5% of a given value or range of values. Alternatively, and particularly in biological systems, the terms “about” and “approximately” may mean values that are within an order of magnitude, preferably within 5-fold and more preferably within 2-fold of a given value. Numerical quantities given herein are approximate unless stated otherwise, meaning that the term “about” or “approximately” can be inferred when not expressly stated.Numeric ranges recited within the specification are inclusive of the numbers within the defined range. Throughout this disclosure, various aspects of this disclosure are presented in a range format. It should be understood that the description in range format is merely for convenience and brevity and should not be construed as an inflexible limitation on the scope of the disclosure. Accordingly, the description of a range should be considered to have specifically disclosed all the possible sub-ranges as well as individual numerical values within that range (e.g., 1 to 5 includes 1, 1.5, 2, 2.75, 3, 3.80, 4, and 5) .Also, the words “comprise, ” “comprising, ” “contains, ” “containing, ” “include, ” “including, ” and “includes, ” when used in this specification and in the following claims, are intended to specify the presence of stated features, integers, components, or steps, but they do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, components, steps, acts, or groups.The term “amino acid” refers to any monomeric unit that can be incorporated into a peptide, polypeptide, or protein. Amino acids include naturally occurring α-amino acids and their stereoisomers, as well as unnatural (non-naturally occurring) amino acids and their stereoisomers. “Stereoisomers” of a given amino acid refer to isomers having the same molecular formula and intramolecular bonds but different three-dimensional arrangements of bonds and atoms (e.g., an l-amino acid and the corresponding d-amino acid) .The terms “identity, ” “substantial identity, ” “similarity, ” “substantial similarity, ” “homology” and the related terms and expressions used in the context of describing amino acid sequences refer to a sequence that has at least 60% sequence identity to a reference sequence. Examples include at least: 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99%, sequence identity, as compared to a reference sequence using the programs for comparison of amino acid sequences, such as BLAST using standard parameters. For sequence comparison, typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence to which test sequences are compared. When using a sequence comparison algorithm, test and reference sequences are entered into a computer, subsequence coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated. Default (standard) program parameters can be used, or alternative parameters can be designated. The sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identities for the test sequences relative to the reference sequence, based on the program parameters. A “comparison window” includes reference to a segment of any one of the number of contiguous positions (from 20 to 600, usually about 50 to about 200, more commonly about 100 to about 150) , in which a sequence may be compared to a reference sequence of the same number of contiguous positions after the two sequences are optimally aligned. Methods of alignment of sequences for comparison are well-known. Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison may be conducted, for example, by the local homology algorithm of Smith and Waterman, 1981, by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch, 1970, by the search for similarity method of Pearson and Lipman, 1988, by computerized implementations of these algorithms (for example, BLAST) , or by manual alignment and visual inspection.Algorithms that are suitable for determining percent sequence identity and sequence similarity include BLAST and BLAST 2.0 algorithms, which are described in Altschul et al., 1990, and Altschul et al., 1977, respectively. Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) web site. The algorithm involves first identifying high scoring sequence pairs (HSPs) by identifying short words of length W in the query sequence, which either match or satisfy some positive-valued threshold score T when aligned with a word of the same length in a database sequence. T is referred to as the neighborhood word score threshold. These initial neighborhood word hits act as seeds for initiating searches to find longer HSPs containing them. The word hits are then extended in both directions along each sequence for as far as the cumulative alignment score can be increased. Cumulative scores are calculated using, for nucleotide sequences, the parameters M (reward score for a pair of matching residues; always >0) and N (penalty score for mismatching residues; always <0) . For amino acid sequences, a scoring matrix is used to calculate the cumulative score. Extension of the word hits in each direction are halted when: the cumulative alignment score falls off by the quantity X from its maximum achieved value; the cumulative score goes to zero or below, due to the accumulation of one or more negative-scoring residue alignments; or the end of either sequence is reached. The BLAST algorithm parameters W, T, and X determine the sensitivity and speed of the alignment. The BLASTN program (for nucleotide sequences) uses as defaults a word size (W) of 28, an expectation (E) of 10, M=1, N=-2, and a comparison of both strands. For amino acid sequences, the BLASTP program uses as defaults a word size (W) of 3, an expectation (E) of 10, and the BLOSUM62 scoring matrix (Henikoff and Henikoff, 1989) . The BLAST algorithm also performs a statistical analysis of the similarity between two sequences (Karlin and Altschul, 1993) .As disclosed herein, when referring to a range defined by “greater than a first minimum value, ” such range includes any subrange defined by a second minimum value that is greater than the first minimum value. This is to say, all values equal to or greater than the first minimum value are encompassed within the broader range. For example, when stating “at least 70%, ” this phrase inherently includes all percentages equal to or greater than 70%. It is equivalent to explicitly listing each percentage value, as follows: “at least 70%, at least 71%, at least 72%, at least 73%, at least 74%, at least 75%, at least 76%, at least 77%, at least 78%, at least 79%, at least 80%, at least 81%, at least 82%, at least 83%, at least 84%, at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 87%, at least 88%, at least 89%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or 100%. ”As used herein, the term “antibody” means an isolated or recombinant binding agent that comprises the necessary variable region sequences to specifically bind an antigenic epitope. Therefore, an “antibody” as used herein is any form of an antibody of any class or subclass or fragment thereof that exhibits the desired biological activity, e.g., binding a specific target antigen. Thus, it is used in the broadest sense and specifically covers a monoclonal antibody (including full-length monoclonal antibodies) , human antibodies, chimeric antibodies, nanobodies, diabodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies) , antibody fragments, antigen-binding fragments including but not limited to scFv, Fab, and the like so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity.“Antibody fragments” or “antigen-binding fragments” comprise a portion of an intact antibody, for example, the antigen-binding or variable region of the intact antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, Fab’, F (ab’) 2, and Fv fragments; diabodies; linear antibodies (e.g., Zapata et al., Protein Eng. 8 (10) : 1057-1062 (1995) ) ; single-chain antibody molecules (e.g., scFv) ; and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments. Papain digestion of antibodies produces two identical antigen-binding fragments, called “Fab” fragments, each with a single antigen-binding site, and a residual “Fc” fragment, a designation reflecting the ability to crystallize readily. Pepsin treatment yields an F (ab’) 2 fragment with two antigen combining sites and is still capable of cross-linking antigen.As used herein, “V-region” or “variable region” refers to an antibody variable region domain comprising the segments of Framework 1, CDR1, Framework 2, CDR2, and Framework 3, including CDR3 and Framework 4. The heavy chain V-region, VH, is a consequence of the rearrangement of a V-gene (HV) , a D-gene (HD) , and a J-gene (HJ) , in what is termed V (D) J recombination during B-cell differentiation. The light chain V-region, VL, is a consequence of the rearrangement of a V-gene (LV) and a J-gene (LJ) .As used herein, “complementarity-determining region (CDR) ” refers to the three hypervariable regions (HVRs) in each chain that interrupt the four “framework” regions established by the light and heavy chain variable regions. The CDRs are the primary contributors to binding to an epitope of an antigen. The CDRs of each chain are referred to as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3, numbered sequentially starting from the N-terminus, and are also identified by the chain in which the CDR is located. Thus, a VH CDR3 (HCDR3) is in the variable domain of the heavy chain of the antibody in which it is found, whereas a VL CDR3 (LCDR3) is the CDR3 from the variable domain of the light chain of the antibody in which it is located. The term “CDR” is used interchangeably with “HVR” when referring to CDR sequences.The amino acid sequences of the CDRs and framework regions can be determined using various well-known definitions in the art, e.g., Kabat, Chothia, international ImMunoGeneTics database (IMGT) , and AbM (see, e.g., Chothia & Lesk, 1987, Canonical structures for the hypervariable regions of immunoglobulins. J. Mol. Biol. 196, 901-917; Chothia C. et al., 1989, Conformations of immunoglobulin hypervariable regions. Nature 342, 877-883; Chothia C. et al., 1992, Structural repertoire of the human VH segments J. Mol. Biol. 227, 799-817; Al-Lazikani et al., J. Mol. Biol. 1997, 273 (4) ) . Definitions of antigen combining sites are also described in the following: Ruiz et al., IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics database. Nucleic Acids Res., 28, 219–-221 (2000) ; and Lefranc, M. -P. IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics database. Nucleic Acids Res. Jan 1; 29 (1) : 207-9 (2001) ; MacCallum et al., Antibody-antigen interactions: Contact analysis and binding site topography, J. Mol. Biol., 262 (5) , 732-745 (1996) ; and Martin et al, Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 86, 9268-–9272 (1989) ; Martin et al., Methods Enzymol., 203, 121-–153, (1991) ; Pedersen et al., Immunomethods, 1, 126, (1992) ; and Rees et al., In Sternberg M.J.E. (ed. ) , Protein Structure Prediction. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 141-–172 1996) . Reference to CDRs as determined by Kabat numbering is based, for example, on Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD (1991) ) . Chothia CDRs are determined as defined by Chothia (see, e.g., Chothia and Lesk J. Mol. Biol. 196: 901-917 (1987) ) .CDRs in this disclosure are defined by Kabat. As known in the art, numbering and placement of the CDRs can differ depending on the numbering system employed. It is understood that disclosure of a variable heavy and / or variable light sequence includes the disclosure of the associated CDRs, regardless of the numbering system employed.An “Fc region” refers to the constant region of an antibody excluding the first constant region immunoglobulin domain. Thus, e.g., for human immunoglobulins, “Fc” refers to the last two constant region immunoglobulin domains of IgA, IgD, and IgG, and the last three constant region immunoglobulin domains of IgE and IgM, and the flexible hinge N-terminal to these domains. For IgA and IgM, Fc may include the J chain. For IgG, Fc comprises immunoglobulin domains Cγ2 and Cγ3 and the hinge between Cγ1 and Cγ2. It is understood in the art that the boundaries of the Fc region may vary, however, the human IgG heavy chain Fc region is usually defined to comprise residues C226 or P230 to its carboxyl-terminus, using the numbering according to the EU index as in Kabat et al. (1991, NIH Publication 91-3242, National Technical Information Service, Springfield, Va. ) . The term “Fc region” may refer to this region in isolation or this region in the context of an antibody or antibody fragment. “Fc region” includes naturally occurring allelic variants of the Fc region as well as modified Fc regions, e.g., that are modified to modulate effector function or other properties such as pharmacokinetics, stability or production properties of an antibody. Fc regions also include variants that do not exhibit alterations in biological function. For example, one or more amino acids can be deleted from the N-terminus or C-terminus of the Fc region of an immunoglobulin without substantial loss of biological function. Such variants can be selected according to general rules known in the art to have minimal effect on activity (see, e.g., Bowie et al., Science 247: 306-1310, 1990) . For example, for IgG4 antibodies, a single amino acid substitution (S228P according to Kabat numbering; designated IgG4Pro) may be introduced to abolish the heterogeneity observed in recombinant IgG4 antibodies (see, e.g., Angal et al., Mol Immunol 30: 105-108, 1993) .An “EC50” as used herein refers to the half-maximal effective concentration, which is the concentration of an antibody that induces a response (signal generated in engagement assay) halfway between the baseline and maximum after a specified exposure time. In some embodiments, the “fold over EC50” is determined by dividing the EC50 of a reference antibody by the EC50 of the test antibody.The term “equilibrium dissociation constant” abbreviated (KD) , refers to the dissociation rate constant (kd, time-1) divided by the association rate constant (ka, time-1 M-1) . Equilibrium dissociation constants can be measured using any method. Thus, in some embodiments antibodies of the present disclosure have a KD of less than about 50 nM, typically less than about 25 nM, or less than 10 nM, e.g., less than about 5 nM or than about 1 nM and often less than about 10 nM as determined by surface plasmon resonance analysis using a biosensor system such as a system performed at 37℃.

In some embodiments, an anti-GAL-3 antibody of the present disclosure has KD of greater than 100 pM, e.g., in the range of 100-1000 pM or 500-1000 pM when measured by surface plasmon resonance analysis using a biosensor system such as a system performed at 37℃.The terms “nucleic acid” and “polynucleotide” are used interchangeably and as used herein refer to both sense and anti-sense strands of RNA, cDNA, genomic DNA, and synthetic forms and mixed polymers of the above. In particular embodiments, a nucleotide refers to a ribonucleotide, deoxynucleotide or a modified form of either type of nucleotide, or combinations thereof. The terms also include, but is not limited to, single- and double-stranded forms of DNA. In addition, a polynucleotide, e.g., a cDNA or mRNA, may include either or both naturally occurring and modified nucleotides linked together by naturally occurring and / or non-naturally occurring nucleotide linkages. The nucleic acid molecules may be modified chemically or biochemically or may contain non-natural or derivatized nucleotide bases, as will be readily appreciated by those of skill in the art. Such modifications include, for example, labels, methylation, the substitution of one or more of the naturally occurring nucleotides with an analog, internucleotide modifications such as uncharged linkages (e.g., methyl phosphonates, phosphotriesters, phosphoramidates, carbamates, and the like) , charged linkages (e.g., phosphorothioates, phosphorodithioates, and the like) , pendent moieties (e.g., polypeptides) , intercalators (e.g., acridine, psoralen, and the like) , chelators, alkylators, and modified linkages (e.g., alpha anomeric nucleic acids, and the like) . The above term is also intended to include any topological conformation, including single-stranded, double-stranded, partially duplexed, triplex, hairpinned, circular and padlocked conformations. A reference to a nucleic acid sequence encompasses its complement unless otherwise specified. Thus, a reference to a nucleic acid molecule having a particular sequence should be understood to encompass its complementary strand, with its complementary sequence. The term also includes codon-optimized nucleic acids that encode the same polypeptide sequence.The terms “vector” and “expression vector” refer to a nucleic acid construct, generated recombinantly or synthetically, with a series of specified nucleic acid elements that permit transcription of a particular polynucleotide sequence in a host cell. An expression vector may be part of a plasmid, viral genome, or nucleic acid fragment. Typically, an expression vector includes a polynucleotide to be transcribed, operably linked to a promoter. The term “promoter” is used herein to refer to an array of nucleic acid control sequences that direct transcription of a nucleic acid. As used herein, a promoter includes necessary nucleic acid sequences near the start site of transcription, such as, in the case of a polymerase II type promoter, a TATA element. A promoter also optionally includes distal enhancer or repressor elements, which can be located as much as several thousand base pairs from the start site of transcription. Other elements that may be present in an expression vector include those that enhance transcription (e.g., enhancers) and terminate transcription (e.g., terminators) .An “expression cassette” refers to a nucleic acid construct that, when introduced into a host cell, results in transcription and / or translation of an RNA or polypeptide, respectively.The term “operably linked” refers to a functional linkage between a nucleic acid expression control sequence (such as a promoter, or array of transcription factor binding sites) and a second nucleic acid sequence, wherein the expression control sequence directs transcription of the nucleic acid corresponding to the second sequence.The term “promoter, ” as used herein, refers to a polynucleotide sequence capable of driving transcription of a coding sequence in a cell. Thus, promoters can include cis-acting transcriptional control elements and regulatory sequences that are involved in regulating or modulating the timing and / or rate of transcription of a gene. For example, a promoter can be a cis-acting transcriptional control element, including an enhancer, a promoter, a transcription terminator, an origin of replication, a chromosomal integration sequence, 5’ and 3’ untranslated regions, or an intronic sequence, which are involved in transcriptional regulation. These cis-acting sequences typically interact with proteins or other biomolecules to carry out (turn on / off, regulate, modulate, etc. ) gene transcription.The phrase “percent identical” or equivalents used in the context of two nucleic acids or polypeptides, refers to a sequence that has at least a specified level of identity, e.g., at least 50%sequence identity with a reference sequence (e.g., any SEQ ID NO included herein) . Alternatively, percent identity can be any integer from 50% to 100%. Some embodiments include at least: 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99%, compared to a reference sequence using the programs described herein, e.g., BLAST using standard parameters, as described below.For sequence comparison, typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence, to which test sequences are compared. When using a sequence comparison algorithm, test and reference sequences are entered into a computer, subsequence coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated. Default program parameters can be used, or alternative parameters can be designated. The sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identities for the test sequences relative to the reference sequence, based on the program parameters.A “comparison window, ” as used herein, includes reference to a segment of any one of the numbers of contiguous positions selected from the group consisting of from 20 to 600, usually about 50 to about 200, more usually about 100 to about 150 in which a sequence may be compared to a reference sequence of the same number of contiguous positions after the two sequences are optimally aligned. Methods of alignment of sequences for comparison are well-known in the art. Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be conducted, e.g., by the local homology algorithm of Smith & Waterman, Adv. Appl. Math. 2: 482 (1981) , by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman & Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48: 443 (1970) , by the search for similarity method of Pearson & Lipman, Proc. Nat’l. Acad. Sci. USA 85: 2444 (1988) , by computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, WI) , or by manual alignment and visual inspection.Algorithms that are suitable for determining percent sequence identity and sequence similarity are the BLAST and BLAST 2.0 algorithms, which are described in Altschul et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215: 403-410 and Altschul et al. (1977) Nucleic Acids Res. 25: 3389-3402, respectively. Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) web site.A “substitution” denotes the replacement of one or more amino acids or nucleotides by different amino acids or nucleotides, respectively.An “isolated” nucleic acid refers to a nucleic acid molecule that has been separated from a component of its natural environment. An isolated nucleic acid includes a nucleic acid molecule contained in cells that ordinarily contain the nucleic acid molecule, but the nucleic acid molecule is present extrachromosomally or at a chromosomal location that is different from its natural chromosomal location.“Isolated nucleic acid encoding an antibody or fragment thereof” refers to one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding antibody heavy or light chains (or fragments thereof) , including such nucleic acid molecule (s) in a single vector or separate vectors, and such nucleic acid molecule (s) present at one or more locations in a host cell.The terms “host cell, ” “host cell line, ” and “host cell culture” are used interchangeably and refer to cells into which exogenous nucleic acid has been introduced, including the progeny of such cells. Thus, a host cell is a recombinant host cell and includes the primary transformed cell and progeny derived therefrom without regard to the number of passages.A polypeptide “variant” is a polypeptide that typically differs from one or more polypeptide sequences specifically disclosed herein in one or more substitutions, deletions, additions, and / or insertions.A “therapeutic agent” refers to an agent that when administered to a patient suffering from a disease, in a therapeutically effective dose, will cure, or at least partially arrest the symptoms of the disease and complications associated with the disease.A “variant” of a reference antibody refers to an antibody that typically differs from the reference antibody in one or more substitutions, deletions, additions, and / or insertions in the amino acid sequence of the heavy and / or light chain.As used herein, the term “internalize, ” or “internalization” refer to the phenomenon that an antibody molecule crosses the cell membrane and reaches the cytoplasm and / or the nucleus.The terms “therapy, ” “treatment, ” and “amelioration” refer to any reduction in the severity of symptoms. For example, in the case of treating cancer, treatment can refer to reducing the number of cancer cells or growth rate or cell death of non-cancer cells, etc. As used herein, the terms “treat” and “prevent” are not intended to be absolute terms. Treatment and prevention can refer to any delay in onset, amelioration of symptoms, improvement in patient survival, increase in survival time or rate, etc. Treatment and prevention can be complete (no detectable symptoms remaining) or partial, such that symptoms are less frequent of severe than in a patient without the treatment described herein. The effect of treatment can be compared to an individual or pool of individuals not receiving the treatment, or to the same patient prior to treatment or at a different time during treatment. In some aspects, the severity of disease is reduced by at least 10%, as compared, e.g., to the individual before administration or to a control individual not undergoing treatment. In some aspects the severity of disease is reduced by at least 25%, 50%, 75%, 80%, or 90%, or in some cases, no longer detectable using standard diagnostic techniques.The terms “effective amount, ” “effective dose, ” “therapeutically effective amount, ” etc. refer to that amount of the therapeutic agent sufficient to ameliorate a disorder, as described above. For example, for the given parameter, a therapeutically effective amount will show an increase or decrease of therapeutic effect at least 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 75%, 80%, 90%, or at least 100%. Therapeutic efficacy can also be expressed as “-fold” increase or decrease. For example, a therapeutically effective amount can have at least a 1.2-fold, 1.5-fold, 2-fold, 5-fold, or more effect over a control.As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” is used synonymously with physiologically acceptable and pharmacologically acceptable. A pharmaceutical composition will generally comprise agents for buffering and preservation in storage, and can include buffers and carriers for appropriate delivery, depending on the route of administration.The terms “dose” and “dosage” are used interchangeably herein. A dose refers to the amount of active ingredient given to an individual at each administration. The dose will vary depending on a number of factors, including frequency of administration; size and tolerance of the individual; severity of the condition; risk of side effects; the route of administration; and the imaging modality of the detectable moiety (if present) . One of skill in the art will recognize that the dose can be modified depending on the above factors or based on therapeutic progress. The term “dosage form” refers to the particular format of the pharmaceutical and depends on the route of administration. For example, a dosage form can be in a liquid, e.g., a saline solution for injection.“Subject, ” “patient, ” “individual” and like terms are used interchangeably and refer to, except where indicated, mammals such as humans and non-human primates, as well as rabbits, rats, mice, goats, pigs, dogs, cats, and other mammalian species. The term does not necessarily indicate that the subject has been diagnosed with a particular disease but typically refers to an individual under medical supervision. A patient can be an individual that is seeking treatment, monitoring, adjustment or modification of an existing therapeutic regimen, etc.III. Detailed Description of the EmbodimentsThe present disclosure is directed to compositions and methods to prevent and treat metabolic epilepsy and / or related neurological disorders through targeting Galectin-3 with anti-GAL-3 antibodies.Galectin-3 (GAL-3)The galectin family comprises at least fifteen β-galactoside-binding lectins, playing pivotal roles in growth and development, and contributing to the advancement of several diseases. Galectin-3 (GAL-3) , a monomer but can form a multimer (dimer or pentamer) at higher concentrations
[0017] , is one of the most studied members of the galectin family [2, 18] .All galectins, including GAL-3, bind to β-galactoside, but they exhibit slight variations in their carbohydrate-binding abilities. Typically, galectins show a preference for N-acetyllactosamine, binding it significantly stronger than lactose. N-glycans rich in N-acetyllactosamine serve as effective ligands for most galectins. Notably, GAL-3’s interaction with the TF-disaccharide found in O-glycans is distinct from that of galectin-1, displaying a much higher affinity in isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) assays
[0022] . These differences in binding properties among galectins can be attributed to their unique three-dimensional structures. [22-24]GAL-3 interacts with both intracellular and extracellular molecules. Unlike other galectins, GAL-3 is secreted without a conventional signal peptide
[0025] , existing within the cytosol and the extracellular matrix (ECM) [26, 27] . Known extracellular ligands include ECM and cell surface glycoproteins like laminin [28, 29] , fibronectin
[0030] , CD29
[0031] , CD66
[0032] , α1β1 integrin
[0030] , and Mac-2 binding protein
[0033] . Intracellularly, GAL-3 binds to ligands such as gemin 4
[0034] , Bcl-2
[0034] , nucling
[0035] , synexin
[0036] , and β-catenin [37, 38] through various protein-carbohydrate and protein-protein interactions.GAL-3 functions in various biological capacities, both inside cells, within the nucleus or cytoplasm, and outside, on the cell surface or in the extracellular space [3, 4, 17] . It connects with β-galactose- rich glycoconjugates or glycolipids on the cell membrane, influencing key cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis, adhesion, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis. These functions are critical during normal development and also play a role in the progression of diseases associated with chronic inflammation, such as cancer, fibrosis, and type 2 diabetes, etc. Studies have also shown that galectins, a family of 15 glycan-binding proteins that have been conserved throughout evolution, in modulating neuroinflammation and potentially influencing neurodegeneration [41, 42] .Galectin-3 (GAL-3) plays a diverse role in biological processes including cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, apoptosis, tumor progression, and inflammation [43-45] . It is also involved in the modulation of both the innate and adaptive immune systems. The function of GAL-3, whether pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory, is influenced by several factors including the specific brain region, the nature of the injury, and the stage of the disease
[0045] .In normal brain tissue, GAL-3 is constitutively expressed across a wide range of neuronal tissues, including neurons and glial cells in various brain regions
[0046] . Detailed studies, particularly those using immunohistochemistry techniques in adult rats, have mapped the presence of GAL-3 in numerous brain areas such as parts of the telencephalon (including certain areas of the cerebral cortex, olfactory region, amygdaloid nucleus, stria terminalis, and the vascular organ of the lamina terminalis) , the diencephalon (encompassing the thalamus and hypothalamus) , as well as in the brain stem and cerebellum (including the inferior colliculus, lateral parabrachial nucleus, pontine nucleus, cochlear nucleus, and the fibers of the cerebellar peduncles) .Under neuroinflammatory conditions within the central nervous system, GAL-3 expression is in glia, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. However, it is primarily expressed by microglia and astrocytes when studied in vitro
[0047] . This distribution and expression pattern highlight the potential roles of GAL-3 in normal brain function and its reactive upregulation in response to neuroinflammatory conditions, pointing to its significance in both the healthy and diseased states of the nervous system.Microglia, in their activated state, undergo proliferation, morphological changes, migrate to damaged sites, and produce cytokines
[0048] , acting as primary effectors in CNS inflammation
[0049] . Their functional plasticity allows them to exhibit dual phenotypes-proinflammatory M1 and anti- inflammatory M2-enabling them to adapt to various microenvironments and maintain tissue homeostasis
[0050] .GAL-3’s involvement extends to regulating microglial polarization, influenced by the context of brain damage, through lectin-glycan interactions
[0042] . Its expression and activity, which can be upregulated by factors like IFN-γ, play a significant role in the proinflammatory response by activating the M1 phenotype and promoting cytokine production through pathways like JAK / STAT
[0051] . However, GAL-3’s function in neuroinflammation is complex, displaying both protective and detrimental effects depending on the disease context, stages, and severity [52-54] . For instance, in conditions like traumatic brain injury, GAL-3 exacerbates proinflammatory responses
[0055] , whereas in autoimmune diseases like EAE (Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis) , it can contribute to neuroprotection by facilitating debris clearance and promoting regeneration and remyelination
[0056] . This dual nature underscores the nuanced role of GAL-3 in neuroinflammatory processes, offering potential therapeutic targets for modulating microglial activity in neurological diseases.Several GAL-3 inhibitors or antagonists, either small-molecule carbohydrates or large-molecule products, are being developed by private and public companies for therapeutic applications in various diseases.
[0057] The terms “GAL-3 inhibitor” or “GAL-3 antagonist” or “GAL-3 blocker” or the like include any substance that decreases the expression, ligand binding (e.g., binding to GAL-3) , or any biological activity of GAL-3 (e.g., regulating microglial polarization) , that would elicit a biological or medical response of a tissue, system, subject or patient that is being sought by the administrator (such as a researcher, doctor or veterinarian) which includes any measurable alleviation of the signs, symptoms and / or clinical indicia of epilepsy and related neurological disorders, and / or the prevention, slowing or halting of progression of epilepsy and related neurological disorders. GAL-3 inhibitors include both small-molecule carbohydrates or large-molecule natural or unnatural products. Several Gal-3 inhibitors or antagonists, including small-molecule inhibitors and large molecule products, are undergoing clinical development in various diseases associated with Gal-3. A summary of the small molecule and large molecule therapies are presented in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively.Anti-Gal-3 inhibitors that have been explored further in nonclinical and clinical development of neurological diseases include, for example, TD139, a small molecule Gal-3 inhibitor as described in Hirani, Nikhil et al. “Target inhibition of galectin-3 by inhaled TD139 in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. ” The European respiratory journal vol. 57, 5 2002559.27 May. 2021, and TB006, an anti-Gal-3 antibody as described in Rasool, S., Patel, P., Johansson, J., Voloboueva, L., Lee, S., Sun, J., Lan, X., Ahmed, T. and Sun, D. (2022) , Potential Reversal of Alzheimer’s Disease pathology by Antibody TB006 Targeting Galectin-3, the Root Cause of Oligomerization of Amyloid Proteins. Alzheimer’s Dement., 18: e060393; each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.Small-Molecular GAL-3 Targeted InhibitorsSmall molecule anti-GAL-3 inhibitors offer several benefits compared to the large molecule counterparts, including the ability to create a compact structure with desired traits like suitable polar surface area and biostability which enabled the oral formulation development, that can be manufactured consistently on a large scale and is straightforward to characterize, and facilitate pharmacokinetic studies. Nonetheless, synthetic molecules may pose toxicity risks at elevated dosages. Table 1 lists a summary of clinical trials of small molecule Gal-3 inhibitors.Table 1. Overview of Clinical Trials of Small Molecule Gal-3 InhibitorsGalecto Bio, Galecto Biotech; IPF, Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; NASH, Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis; NSCLC, Non-small cell lung cancer; not rec, not recruiting.Large-Molecular GAL-3 Targeted InhibitorsPectins, sourced or modified from plants, represent large molecule antagonists of GAL-3 that have undergone clinical examination for a range of conditions, as documented on www. clinicaltrials. gov (retrieved on 20 February 2023) . However, these pectins do not target a specific galectin and exhibit weak binding to GAL-3, with affinities ranging 2.6 to 10 μM. Table 2 lists a summary of clinical trials of large molecule Gal-3 inhibitors.Table 2.

The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier can enhance or stabilize the composition, or to facilitate preparation of the composition. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and the like that are physiologically compatible.A pharmaceutical composition as described herein can be administered by a variety of methods known in the art. The route and / or mode of administration vary depending upon the desired results. In some embodiments, the composition is sterile and fluid. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by use of coating such as lecithin, by maintenance of required particle size in the case of dispersion and by use of surfactants. In many cases, it is preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, polyalcohol such as mannitol or sorbitol, and sodium chloride in the composition. Long-term absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by including in the composition an agent which delays absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate or gelatin.Pharmaceutical compositions described herein can be prepared in accordance with methods well known and routinely practiced in the art. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are determined in part by the particular composition being administered, as well as by the particular method used to administer the composition. Accordingly, there is a wide variety of suitable formulations of pharmaceutical compositions. Applicable methods for formulating the compositions and determining appropriate dosing and scheduling can be found, for example, in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Ed., University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, Eds., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (2005) ; and in Martindale: The Complete Drug Reference, Sweetman, 2005, London: Pharmaceutical Press., and in Martindale, Martindale: The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 31st Edition., 1996, Amer Pharmaceutical Assn, and Sustained and Controlled Release Drug Delivery Systems, J.R. Robinson, ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, 1978, each of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Pharmaceutical compositions are preferably manufactured under GMP conditions. Typically, a therapeutically effective dose or efficacious dose is employed in the pharmaceutical compositions described herein. The compositions can be formulated into pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms. Dosage regimens are adjusted to provide the desired response (e.g., a therapeutic response) . In determining a therapeutically or prophylactically effective dose, a low dose can be administered and then incrementally increased until a desired response is achieved with minimal or no undesired side effects. For example, a single bolus may be administered, several divided doses may be administered over time or the dose may be proportionally reduced or increased as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation. It is especially advantageous to formulate parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the subjects to be treated; each unit contains a predetermined quantity of active compound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier.Actual dosage levels of the active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions can be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active ingredient which is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, composition, and mode of administration, without being toxic to the patient. The selected dosage level depends upon a variety of pharmacokinetic factors including the activity of the particular compositions employed, or the ester, salt or amide thereof, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion of the particular compound being employed, the duration of the treatment, other drugs, compounds and / or materials used in combination with the particular compositions employed, the age, sex, weight, condition, general health and prior medical history of the patient being treated, and like factors.Method of TreatmentIn one aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for preventing or treating epilepsy and / or a neurological disorder in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject an antibody comprising a means for binding to Galectin-3. In some embodiments, the Galectin-3 is human Galectin-3. In some embodiments, the method comprising administering to the subject an anti-GAL-3 antibody, wherein the antibody binds to GAL-3 in the subject thereby preventing or treating epilepsy and / or a neurological disorder. In some embodiments, the neurological disorder is Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or Parkinson’s disease (PD) . In some embodiments, the antibody is administered in combination with an additional therapeutic agent.In certain embodiments, an antibody described herein is administered to the subject in combination with one or more additional therapeutic agents used to treat epilepsy and / or a neurological disorder, or the side effects or associated symptoms thereof. In certain embodiments, the method comprises administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody as disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody, in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of one or more additional therapeutic agents. In one embodiment, a method for treating epilepsy and / or a neurological disorder in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody as disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody, in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of one or more additional therapeutic agents.In some embodiments, the antibody or pharmaceutical composition is administered to the subject in combination with one or more additional therapeutic agents that are effective at preventing or treating epilepsy and / or a neurological disorder. In some embodiments, the one or more additional therapeutic agents comprise another anti-Gal-3 antibody that does not compete with the antibody or pharmaceutical composition for binding to Gal-3. In some embodiments, the co-administration includes two or more anti-Gal-3 antibodies disclosed herein, with each antibody selected from a different community cluster listed in Table 10.

Since each antibody is selected from a different community cluster and binds to a distinct Gal-3 epitope, they do not compete with one another.DiseasesThe anti- GAL-3 antibodies disclosed herein can be used to prevent or treat epilepsy or neurological disorders. In some embodiments, the neurological disorder is Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or Parkinson’s disease (PD) .Epilepsy and Drug-Resistant EpilepsyIn some embodiments, the anti-GAL-3 antibodies disclosed herein can be used to prevent or treat Epilepsy. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. It affects approximately 1% of the global population and presents a significant burden of disease worldwide. For about 30-40% of patients, seizures cannot be effectively managed with current drug therapies, leading to a condition known as drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) . Surgical interventions offer relief to some patients, but a substantial number continue to experience seizures even after surgery.Epileptogenesis is associated with an increased and persistent inflammatory state in the microenvironment of neural tissues, which can lead to the production of cytokines by glial cells and neurons. The anti-Gal-3 antibodies disclosed herein, by inhibiting Gal-3 activity or expression, can mitigate neuroinflammatory responses, potentially alleviating the pathological processes that contribute to epilepsy development and drug resistance. In some embodiments, the anti-Gal-3 antibodies can be used to treat drug-resistant epilepsy.Parkinson’s diseaseIn some embodiments, the anti-GAL-3 antibodies disclosed herein can be used to prevent or treat Parkinson’s disease (PD) . Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the world. It is characterized by intense neurodegeneration in the basal ganglia area leading to severe and progressive motor impairment. The presence of Lewy bodies (LBs) , described as neuronal intracytoplasmic deposits of α-synuclein (αSYN) , is the second hallmark of the disease. While dopaminergic neurons from the substantia nigra (SN) are frequently the most affected cells, neurodegeneration and LB formation commonly appear in other central and enteric nervous system locations even years before than in the SN.Disease modifying therapies are being developed that work either through targeting αSYN, inflammation, metabolism, vasculature and / or neuroplasticity. Galectin-3 (GAL3) is associated with LB formation and toxicity. As such, an anti-GAL-3 antibody disclosed herein can be used for therapeutical treatment to prevent or slow down PD progression.Alzheimer’s diseaseIn some embodiments, the anti-GAL-3 antibodies disclosed herein can be used to prevent or treat Alzheimer’s disease (AD) . Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is the leading cause of dementia among older adults. There are two major pathological hallmark proteins associated with toxic changes in the brain that may lead to AD: Aβ and tau. The disease is characterized by accumulation of extracellular amyloid plaques, intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, and extensive synaptic loss leading to progressive cognitive impairment and eventually dementia. Abnormal tau (hyperphosphorylated tau) accumulates to form neurofibrillary tangles, while Aβ plaques accumulate both extracellular and intracellular. Amyloid plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau in the brain are therefore the major hallmarks of AD.Gal-3 is highly upregulated in the brains of AD patients. As such, an anti-GAL-3 antibody disclosed herein can be used for therapeutical treatment to prevent or slow down AD progression. In some embodiments, the anti-GAL-3 antibody disclosed herein enhances Aβoligomerization. In some embodiments, the anti-GAL-3 antibody disclosed herein reduces and / or degrades the formation of neurotoxic conformational oligomers, such as Aβ42 oligomers. In some embodiments, the anti-GAL-3 antibody disclosed herein reduces neuroinflammation and / or AD-related pathology in a subject. In some embodiments, the anti-GAL-3 antibody disclosed herein enhances cognitive memory function in a subject.In particular embodiments, the method for preventing or treating epilepsy and / or a neurological disorder in a subject, comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition comprising an antibody which comprises a heavy chain variable (VH) region comprising a HCDR1 amino acid sequence at least 70% identical to any one of SEQ ID NOS: 1-21 and 481-507, a HCDR2 amino acid sequence at least 70% identical to any one of SEQ ID NOS: 22-42 and 390-417, and / or a HCDR3 amino acid sequence at least 70% identical to any one of SEQ ID NOS: 43-63 and 418-439, and / or a light chain variable (VL) region comprising: a LCDR1 amino acid sequence at least 70% identical to any one of SEQ ID NOS: 169-189 and 440-462, a LCDR2 amino acid sequence at least 70% identical to any one of SEQ ID NOS: 190-210 and 463-480, and / or a LCDR3 amino acid sequence at least 70% identical to any one of SEQ ID NOS: 211-231 and 481-507. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition further comprises one or more therapeutic agent (s) , wherein the therapeutic agent (s) can be either conjugated to the antibody or in a separate form apart from the antibody.In another aspect, the disclosure additionally provides methods of identifying subjects who are candidates for treatment with an anti-GAL-3 antibody. Thus, in one embodiment, the disclosure provides a method of identifying a subject who can benefit from treatment with the anti-GAL-3 antibody disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the subject has epilepsy and / or a neurological disorder that overexpresses Galectin-3. Binding of the antibody to Galectin-3 can be measured using any assay, such as immunohistochemistry or flow cytometry. In some embodiments, binding of the antibody to at least 0.2%, 0.5%, or 1%, or at least 5% or 10%, or at least 20%, 30%, or 50%, of Galectin-3 in a sample may be used as a selection criterion for determining a patient to be treated with the anti-GAL-3 antibody as described herein.In one aspect, methods of the disclosure comprise administering an anti-GAL-3 antibody disclosed herein, or a variant thereof, as a pharmaceutical composition to a patient in a therapeutically effective amount using a dosing regimen suitable for treatment of the epilepsy, the neurological disorder or the cancer. The composition can be formulated for use in a variety of drug delivery systems. One or more physiologically acceptable excipients or carriers can also be included in the compositions for proper formulation. Suitable formulations for use in the present invention are found, e.g., in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Edition, Philadelphia, PA. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2005.The anti-GAL-3 antibody is provided in a solution suitable for administration to the patient, such as a sterile isotonic aqueous solution for injection. The antibody is dissolved or suspended at a suitable concentration in an acceptable carrier. In some embodiments the carrier is aqueous, e.g., water, saline, phosphate buffered saline, and the like. The compositions may contain auxiliary pharmaceutical substances as required to approximate physiological conditions, such as pH adjusting and buffering agents, tonicity adjusting agents, and the like.AdministrationThe pharmaceutical compositions are administered to a patient in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the disease or symptoms of the disease and its complications. An amount adequate to accomplish this is defined as a “therapeutically effective dose. ” A therapeutically effective dose is determined by monitoring a patient’s response to therapy. Typical benchmarks indicative of a therapeutically effective dose includes the amelioration of symptoms of the disease in the patient. Amounts effective for this use will depend upon the severity of the disease and the general state of the patient’s health, including other factors such as age, weight, gender, administration route, and the like Single or multiple administrations of the antibody may be administered depending on the dosage and frequency as required and tolerated by the patient. In any event, the methods provide a sufficient quantity of anti-GAL-3 antibody to effectively treat the patient.An anti-GAL-3 antibody or the antibody immunoconjugate (e.g., an anti-GAL-3 antibody- drug conjugate) can be administered by any suitable means, including, for example, parenteral, intrapulmonary, and intranasal, administration, as well as local administration, such as intratumor administration. Parenteral infusions include intramuscular, intravenous, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous administration. In some embodiments, the antibody may be administered by insufflation. In an illustrative embodiment, the antibody or the antibody immunoconjugate (e.g., an anti-GAL-3 antibody- drug conjugate) may be stored at 10 mg / ml in sterile isotonic aqueous saline solution for injection at 4℃ and is diluted in either 100 ml or 200 ml 0.9% sodium chloride for injection prior to administration to the patient. In some embodiments, the antibody or the antibody immunoconjugate (e.g., an anti-GAL-3 antibody-drug conjugate) is administered by intravenous infusion over the course of 1 or 2 hours at a dose of between 0.01 and 100 mg / kg per the subject’s body weight. In some embodiments, the antibody or the antibody immunoconjugate (e.g., an anti-GAL-3 antibody- drug conjugate) is administered at a dose range between 0.01-1 mg / kg, between 1-10 mg / kg, between 10-50 mg / kg, or between 50-100 mg / kg per the subject’s body weight. In some embodiments, the antibody or the antibody immunoconjugate (e.g., an anti-GAL-3 antibody- drug conjugate) is administered at a dose of about 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 mg / kg or a dose in a range defined by any two of the aforementioned values per the subject’s body weight. In some embodiments, the antibody or the antibody immunoconjugate (e.g., an anti-GAL-3 antibody- drug conjugate) is administered at a dose of about 10, 20, 40, and 70 mg / kg or a dose in a range defined by any two of the aforementioned valuesper the subject’s body weight. In other embodiments, the antibody or the antibody immunoconjugate (e.g., an anti-GAL-3 antibody- drug conjugate) is administered by intravenous infusion over a period of between 15 minutes and 2 hours. In still other embodiments, the administration procedure is via sub-cutaneous bolus injection.The dose of antibody is chosen to provide effective therapy for the patient and is in the range of less than 0.01 mg / kg body weight to about 100 mg / kg body weight or in the range 1 mg –- 8 g per patient. Preferably the dose is in the range 0.1 -– 50 mg / kg or approximately 50 mg –-5000 mg / patient. The dose may be repeated at an appropriate frequency which may be in the range once per day to once every three months, or every six months, depending on the pharmacokinetics of the antibody (e.g., half-life of the antibody in the circulation) and the pharmacodynamic response (e.g., the duration of the therapeutic effect of the antibody) . In some embodiments, the in vivo half-life of between about 7 and about 25 days and antibody dosing is repeated between once per week and once every 3 months or once every 6 months. In other embodiments, the antibody is administered approximately once per month.In some embodiments, the antibody is administered more than once, such as two, three, four, or more times. In some embodiments, each administration is at least 7 days apart. In some embodiments, each administration is at least 14 days apart. In some embodiments, each administration is at least four weeks apart.In an illustrative embodiment, the antibody may be stored at 10 mg / ml or 20 mg / ml in a sterile isotonic aqueous solution. The solution can comprise agents such as buffering agents and stabilizing agents. For example, in some embodiments, a buffering agent such as histidine is included to maintain a formulation pH of about 5.5. Additional reagents such as sucrose or alternatives can be added to prevent aggregation and fragmentation in solution and during freezing and thawing. Agents such as polysorbate 80 or an alternative can be included to lower surface tension and stabilizes the antibody against agitation-induced denaturation and air-liquid and ice-liquid surface denaturation. In some embodiments, the solution for injection is stored at 2-8℃ and is diluted in either 100 ml or 200 ml 0.9% sodium chloride for injection prior to administration to the patient. In some embodiments, the antibody is administered as a one to two-hour IV infusion from a diluted saline bag with a total volume of 100, 250, or 500 mL, depending on dose level.IV. ExamplesThe present disclosure will be described in greater detail by way of specific examples. The following examples are offered for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention in any manner. Those of skill in the art will readily recognize a variety of noncritical parameters which can be changed or modified to yield essentially the same results.Example 1. Cross Species Reactivity of SIF001 Binding with Galectin-3 (GAL-3)This example illustrates that the in vitro cross-species reactivity of SIF001 against GAL-3 from different species.SIF001 is a humanized monoclonal antibody raised against the human GAL-3 protein. It has the HCDR sequences of SEQ ID Nos: 4, 25, and 46, and the LCDR sequences of SEQ ID Nos: 172, 193, and 214. The cross-species reactivity of SIF001 against GAL-3 from different species: human, mouse, rat, and cynomolgus monkey (cyno) samples was evaluated in vitro, and the affinity of GAL-3 binding to SIF001 was measured by Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) . The binding affinity of SIF001 to human, mouse, and rat GAL-3, measured by dissociation constant (KD) , is presented in Table 8 below.Table 8. Binding Affinity of SIF001 to GAL-3The curve fitting analysis demonstrated strong binding affinity in human, mouse, and rat samples, as evidenced by well-fitted curves (FIGS. 1A-1C) . However, the curve fitting did not perform as well in monkey samples (FIG. 1D) , suggesting a lack of binding affinity or potential species-specific differences in GAL-3 recognition by SIF001. These results indicate that while the SIF001 effectively binds to GAL-3 in human, mouse, and rat samples, its binding affinity may not extend to monkey GAL-3 or may be reduced in monkeys compared to other species.Example 2. SIF001 Reduced Inflammatory Cytokine TNFα Release in LPS-Stimulated microglia BV2 CellsThis example illustrates the in vitro effect of SIF001 on inflammatory cytokine TNFαrelease in microglia BV2 cells when stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) .The inhibitory effects of SIF001 on the release of the inflammatory cytokine TNFαwere evaluated in vitro in microglia BV2 cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to mimic neuroinflammatory processes that are implicated in epileptogenesis and seizure activity. An ELISA assay was performed with the protocol shown below.1. On the first day, seed BV2 cells into a 96-well plate, with 5,000 cells per well. Incubate at 37℃ with 5% CO2 overnight to allow the cells to adhere to the well.2. On the second day, use a new 96-well plate with LPS concentration at 30 ug / ml. The 8th row of the 96-well plate serves as the control and contains only complete culture medium without LPS. All other wells contain 30 ug / ml LPS with a volume of 200 ul each.3. Take two antibodies labeled as Isotype control, mSIF001. Set up 3 replicates for each antibody. The concentration for the first row of antibodies is 100 nM with a volume of 300 ul. Thoroughly mix the replicates containing the antibody, take 100 ul from it and add to the second row, mix well, and then take 100 ul from the second row to the third, continuing this process down to the seventh row, thus performing a 3-fold dilution.4. After mixing, remove the complete culture medium from the original 96-well plate containing BV2 cells, wash 2-3 times with complete culture medium, 100 ul each time, and transfer all the liquid from step “3” into the BV2 cell plate. Incubate for 14-15 hours in the incubator.5. After incubation, take 20 ul of culture medium from each well and dilute it 5 times with the sample diluent from a mouse TNF-α ELISA Kit (High-sensitive) ( Beyotime, China) . Store the remainder at 4℃.6. Bring the reagents from the kit to room temperature to equilibrate for 20-30 minutes before use. Prepare the wash buffer by diluting the 20X wash buffer with sterile water to 1X.7. Add 100 μl of the sample to the respective wells, seal the reaction wells with sealing film, and incubate at room temperature for 120 minutes. After incubation, manually wash the plate, adding 200 ul of wash buffer to each well, for a total of 5 washes. Tap dry on thick absorbent paper after the last wash.8. Add 100 ul of biotinylated antibody to each well, seal the reaction wells with sealing film, and incubate at room temperature for 60 minutes. Repeat the washing step as in step 7.9. Add 100 ul of Streptavidin-HRP to each well, seal the reaction wells with sealing film, and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 20 minutes. If the room temperature is low (below 25℃) , extend the incubation time as needed. Repeat the washing step as in step 7.10. Add 100 ul of TMB substrate solution to each well, seal the reaction wells with sealing film, and incubate in the dark at room temperature for 5-10 minutes until a significant color change is observed in the samples. Add 50 ul of stop solution to each well, mix well, and immediately measure the absorbance at 450 nm.Results demonstrated that SIF001 led to a significant decrease in TNF-α release from LPS-stimulated microglia BV2 cells (FIG. 2) . Given the proposed role of neuroinflammation in epilepsy, these findings suggest the potential therapeutic efficacy of SIF001 in mitigating inflammatory responses associated with epileptic pathogenesis, thus highlighting its promise as a treatment for epilepsy.Example 3. SIF001 Reduced Inflammation in Kainic Acid (KA) -Stimulated microglia BV2 CellsThis example illustrates the in vitro effect of SIF001 on inflammation in microglia BV2 cells stimulated by kainic acid (KA) .In this study, the effect of SIF001 on kainic acid (KA) -stimulated microglia BV2 cells was investigated using cell immunofluorescence assays, as the protocol shown below.1. On the first day, BV2 cells were first planted in three 35 mm glass bottom dishes with 10,000 cells seeded in each dish. The incubator was incubated at 37℃ and cultured overnight with 5% carbon dioxide to make the cells stick to the wall.2. On the second day, anti-HEL Mouse IgG2A isotype control antibody and SIF001 were taken for 100 nM each, and each antibody was added to a petri dish and incubated at 37 ℃ in a carbon dioxide incubator for 1 h. The control group was replaced with 1 ml complete medium. After incubation, 200 ug / ml Kainic acid (KA) solution was added to the two treatment group petri dishes. After incubation for 24 h, the cells in 3 glass dishes were stained by immunofluorescence.3. In a fuming cupboard, brain tissue was fixed at room temperature for 15 min with 4%PFA thawed at room temperature.4. Transfer the PFA to the special waste liquid bucket, and wash the section tissue with PBS three times, 10 min each time.5. A blocking solution was prepared and diluted in PBS with 5% goat serum (NGS) +0.5%Triton X-100. After removing PBS, add blocking solution and incubate at room temperature for 1 h.6. The primary antibody was prepared, diluted in PBS with 5% goat serum +0.1% Triton X-100, added with 1: 250 Iba1 primary antibody, and incubated at 4 ℃ overnight.7. Wash with PBS three times in the morning of the next day, 10 min each time.8. The secondary antibody was prepared, diluted in PBS with 5% goat serum +0.1% Triton X-100, added with 1: 250 secondary antibody, and incubated at room temperature away from light for 2 h.9. Discard the secondary antibodies, prepare 5 ug / mL DAPI on PBS for nuclear staining, and incubate at room temperature for 15 min away from light.10. Dry in a dark place and then add antifade mounting medium with DAPI. Add about 150 uL of the sealing liquid to each slide and cover it with a cover glass to avoid bubbles. After drying in the dark, Liquid blocker super PAP pen can be sealed on all sides and stored at 4 ℃ in a cassette.The results from cell immunofluorescence assay (FIG. 3) confirmed that, compared to the vehicle group of microglia BV2 cells without receiving stimulation (no treatment) , the proportion of IBA1-stained cells in the KA stimulated microglia cells treated with human HEL (isotype control) significantly increased and the cell morphology enlarged, while the proportion of IBA1-stained cells significantly reduced in the KA stimulated microglia BV2 cells treated with SIF001 (SIF001) . These data indicate that SIF001 significantly reduced expression of activation marker IBA1 in in vitro epilepsy model of microglia BV2 cells stimulated by kainic acid (KA) . While KA stimulation significantly increased the proportion of IBA1-stained cells and induced morphological changes, indicative of microglial activation, the treatment with SIF001 resulted in a significant reduction in the proportion of IBA1-stained cells in KA-stimulated microglia BV2 cells, suggesting a potential inhibitory effect of SIF001 on microglial activation induced by KA. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of SIF001 in modulating microglial activation and neuroinflammation, which are implicated in the pathophysiology of conditions such as epilepsy.Example 4. SIF001 Reduced Epilepsy in Mouse Model Induced by Kainic Acid (KA)This example illustrates the effect of SIF001 on epilepsy induced by kainic acid (KA) in C57BL / 6J mice.The effect of SIF001 on the reduction of epilepsy symptoms was evaluated in 8-12 weeks male C57BL / 6J mice. As illustrated in FIG. 4A, epilepsy was induced in C57BL / 6 mice by administering 10 mg / kg, 5 mg / kg, 2.5 mg / kg, and 2.5 mg / kg kainic acid (KA) via i. p. injection at 60 min, 80 min, 100 min, 120 min, respectively. Before KA injection, mice were randomized into two groups to receive 30 mg / kg anti-HEL mouse IgG2A (control group) or receive 30 mg / kg mSIF001 i. p. injection at 0 min (active group) . All mice were observed for 72 hours prior to the sacrifice.Brain tissue processing for staining: Briefly, animals were deeply anesthetized with 50 mg / kg Zoletil (i. p. ) and transcardially perfused with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) followed by 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in PBS. Whole brains were removed and allowed to post-fix in 4%PFA for 6-8 h at 4℃ before being transferred to a 30% sucrose solution for overnight cryoprotection. Coronal sections containing the medial and ventral hippocampus were sliced on a freezing stage microtome and stored at 4℃ in 0.1M PBS for staining.Iba1 and GFAP staining was performed as the protocol shown below.1. In a fuming cupboard, brain tissue was fixed at room temperature for 15 min with 4%PFA thawed at room temperature.2. Transfer the PFA to the special waste liquid bucket, and wash the section tissue with PBS three times, 10 min each time.3. A blocking solution was prepared and diluted in PBS with 5% goat serum (NGS) +0.5%Triton X-100. After removing PBS, add blocking solution and incubate at room temperature for 1 h.4. The primary antibody was prepared, diluted in PBS with 5% goat serum +0.1% Triton X-100, added with 1: 250 Iba1 primary antibody, and incubated at 4 ℃ overnight.5. Wash with PBS three times in the morning of the next day, 10 min each time.6. The secondary antibody was prepared, diluted in PBS with 5% goat serum +0.1% Triton X-100, added with 1: 250 secondary antibody, and incubated at room temperature away from light for 2 h.7. Discard the secondary antibodies, prepare 5 ug / mL DAPI in PBS for nuclear staining, and incubate at room temperature for 15 min away from light.8. Dry in a dark place and then add antifade mounting medium with DAPI. Add about 150 uL of the sealing liquid to each slide and cover it with a cover glass to avoid bubbles. After drying in the dark, Liquid blocker super PAP pen can be sealed on all sides and stored at 4 ℃ in a cassette.Bioanalysis: Three brain tissue sections were taken from each sample for staining, and the hippocampus region was selected for 10X photography with Olympus FV3000. For analyses of microglia and astrogliosis, Iba1 and GFAP staining intensities, a one-way ANOVA design was utilized with a Dunnett’s multiple comparison to controls. A p-value below 0.05 was considered significant in post-hoc testing. All statistical analyses were performed using Prism 9 (GraphPad, La Jolla, CA) .Therapeutic effects of SIF001 on the epilepsy model were evaluated in terms of seizure occurring rate (FIG. 4B) among the test animals in each group, seizure frequency (FIG. 4C) in individual mouse in each group, seizure severity (FIG. 4D) per Racine score and seizure duration (FIG. 4E) in individual mouse in each group. As shown in FIGS. 4A-4D, significant inhibition of epilepsy occurrence has been observed in the active group, in which no mice treated with SIF001 showed seizure symptoms, while all mice in the control group suffered frequently occurred seizures, an average severity Racine score as of 3, and commonly with more than 20 seconds seizure duration.To further explore any pathological changes underlying epilepsy, brain tissues from isotype control and active groups, and a group without any treatment, were immune-fluorescent stained with IBA1 (ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1) and GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein) , biomarkers for activation of microglia and astrocytes, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, SIF001 significantly reduced activation of microglia (FIG. 5) , and astrocytes (FIG. 6) , indicating that SIF001 inhibits epilepsy through disease modification. The results suggest that treatment with SIF001 led to a potential modulation of glial activation and neuroinflammation, which may contribute to the regulation of epileptic activity and neuroprotection in the hippocampus.The results showed that, in KA-induced epilepsy model, treatment with SIF001 was able to significantly inhibit the occurrence of seizure in terms of Racine Score, frequency of seizures, duration of seizures, and significantly reduced neuroinflammatory activation of microglia and astrocytes.Example 5. SIF001 and SIF002 sequence analysisThis example illustrates alanine scanning and mutagenesis assays to evaluate essential amino acid residues of the anti-GAL-3 antibodies SIF001 and SIF002 for antigen binding affinity.First, we utilized the Kabat numbering system to annotate the heavy chain CDRs of SIF001. As indicated in FIG. 7A, the HCDR1 (SEQ ID NO: 4) of SIF001 starts at position 31 and ends at position 35, the HCDR2 (SEQ ID NO: 25) starts at position 50 and ends at position 66, and the HCDR3 (SEQ ID NO: 46) starts at position 99 and ends at position 103. As indicated in FIG. 7B, the LCDR1 (SEQ ID NO: 172) of SIF001 starts at position 23 and ends at position 36, the LCDR2 (SEQ ID NO: 193) starts at position 52 and ends at position 58, and the LCDR3 (SEQ ID NO: 214) starts at position 91 and ends at position 99.To determine which amino acids of the antibody are critical for antigen binding, we performed an alanine scanning assay in which each amino acid within the heavy and light chain CDR regions was individually replaced with an alanine and antigen binding affinity of each antibody variants were tested. We introduced an alanine mutation individually to each amino acid within both the heavy and light chain CDRs of SIF001, and then spliced the complete sequence of the human IgG4P subtype. We inserted the designed sequence into the pcDNA3.4 vector (Amp) , extracted an ample amount of plasmid, and used an appropriate quantity of plasmid (concentration 500ng / ul) for electroporation transfection into CHOK1 cells. The transfected cells were incubated at 37℃, 270rpm, in an 8% CO2 environment, ensuring timely addition of supplements during the 4-day culture period. Subsequently, the cell supernatant was collected for protein expression assessment using Gator.We evaluated the binding affinity of the SIF001 variants with an alanine mutation to human Galectin-3 through ELISA. As shown in FIG. 7A, a replacement of any one of the following amino acid residues of SIF001: Y32 and G33 in HCDR1, W50 and N52 in HCDR2; and Y99 in HCDR3 to an alanine resulted in a significant reduction of the antigen binding affinity, indicating that these amino acid residues are essential to the antibody SIF001 binding to the antigen GAL-3. As showed in FIG. 7B, a replacement of any one of the following amino acid residues of SIF001: Y34 in LCDR1, W93 and Y98 in LCDR3 to an alanine resulted in a significant reduction of the antigen binding affinity, indicating that these amino acid residues are essential to the antibody SIF001 binding to the antigen GAL-3.We further mutated these essential amino acids: Y32, G33, W50, N52, Y99 in the HCDR regions of SIF001 and Y34, W93, and Y98 in the LCDR regions of SIF001 to different amino acid residues, and concluded that a mutation of Y32W, Y32F, W50Y, W50F, or N52Q in the HCDR regions of SIF001 (FIG. 8A) , or a mutation of Y34W, Y34F, W93Y, W93F, Y98W, or Y98F in the LCDR regions of SIF001 (FIG. 8B) did not impact antibody binding to the antigen GAL-3.Similarly, we utilized the Kabat numbering system to annotate the heavy chain CDRs of SIF002. As indicated in the top table of FIG. 9, the HCDR1 (SEQ ID NO: 8) of SIF002 starts at position 31 and ends at position 35, the HCDR2 (SEQ ID NO: 29) starts at position 50 and ends at position 66, and the HCDR3 (SEQ ID NO: 50) starts at position 99 and ends at position 104. As indicated in the lower table of FIG. 9, the LCDR1 (SEQ ID NO: 369) of SIF002 starts at position 24 and ends at position 40, the LCDR2 (SEQ ID NO: 197) starts at position 56 and ends at position 62, and the LCDR3 (SEQ ID NO: 218) starts at position 95 and ends at position 103.We evaluated the binding affinity of the SIF002 variants with an alanine mutation to human Galectin-3 through ELISA. As shown in FIG. 9A, a replacement of any one of the following amino acid residues of SIF002: Y33 in HCDR1, E50 in HCDR2; and Y103 in HCDR3 to an alanine resulted in a significant reduction of the antigen binding affinity, indicating that these amino acid residues are essential to the antibody SIF002’s binding to the antigen GAL-3. As showed in FIG. 9B, a replacement of any one of the following amino acid residues of SIF002: Y38 in LCDR1 and D97 in LCDR3 to an alanine resulted in a significant reduction of the antigen binding affinity, indicating that these amino acid residues are essential to the antibody SIF002 binding to the antigen GAL-3.We further mutated these essential amino acids: Y33, E50, Y103 in the HCDR regions of SIF002 and Y38 and D97 in the LCDR regions of SIF002 to different amino acid residues, and concluded that a mutation of W33Y, W33F, E50D, Y103W, or Y103F in the HCDR regions of SIF002 (FIG. 10A) , or a mutation of Y38W or Y38F in the LCDR regions of SIF002 (FIG. 10B) did not impact antibody binding to the antigen GAL-3.Example 6. SIF001 prevented seizure occurring in a dose-dependent mannerThis example illustrates that the anti-GAL-3 antibody SIF001 can prevent seizure occurring in a dose-dependent manner in mice.Using the same methods described in Example 4, the effects of SIF001 on preventing seizure were evaluated in 8-12 weeks male C57BL / 6J mice. As measured in seizure frequency (FIG. 11A) , seizure severity (FIG. 11B) , and seizure duration (FIG. 11C) , 3 mg / kg of SIF001 can significantly reduce seizure occurring in mice, where 10 mg / kg of SIF001 showed even better effect, indicating that anti-GAL-3 antibody SIF001 can prevent seizure occurring in a dose-dependent manner in mice.Example 7. Structure Determination of Galectin3-e (Gal3-e) and Fab ComplexThis example illustrates utilizing cryogenic electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) to capture a high-resolution structure of a Gal3-e and Fab complex.SummaryThe objective of this research is to obtain a high-resolution structure of the Gal3-e and Fab complex. The Gal3-e is a Gal-3 peptide with an amino acid sequence of GAPGAYPGAPAPGVYPGPPSGPGAYPSSG (SEQ ID NO: 508) . X-ray diffraction and Cryo-EM Single particle analysis (SPA) are the most powerful biophysical methods to build the high-resolution structure of protein or protein complex. Initially, the X-ray diffraction technique was employed to elucidate the structure. However, no diffraction patterns were observed in the optimized large crystals. Consequently, cryogenic electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) was selected as the alternative approach to determine the structure of the complex.For X-ray diffraction, first we developed a homogeneous Gal3-e - Fab complex through Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) and analyzed the complex through crystallization screening and optimization. However, no diffraction patterns but only large block- and rod-shaped crystals were observed by multi-rounds of optimization. Screened commercial kits included crystal screens, structure screens, Index, JCSG plus, PEG / Ion1&2, ProPlex screens, and additive screens.For Cryo-EM, multiple Cryo-EM sample screening experiments were conducted, employing various grids and detergents to identify optimal conditions. We obtained the optimal Cryo-EM samples by using FGG grid exhibiting particles with high contrast and diverse orientations. Next, we collected more than 5 datasets on Talos Glacios 200kV and produced a preliminary density map with a resolution ofTo further enhance the resolution, we collected a dataset, including 8, 447 movies, on Titan Krios 300kV equipped with a Falcon 4i camera and an energy filter. This dataset enabled the resolution of the Gal3-Fab complex density map toWe further performed initial model building and model refinement against the density map. Eventually, the 15 amino residues of the Gal3-e peptide were traced within the density map, and 9 of them were identified.MethodsAssembly of Gal3-e and FabExcess Gal3-e were incubated with the Fab on ice for 30 minutes. After the incubation, Gal3-e-Fab complex was isolated from the mixture using SEC (Column: Superdex 75 increase10 / 300) .Co-crystallizationFor the production of crystals, a solution of purified Gal3-e - Fab complex (15-30 mg / mL) in buffer containing 20 mM Tris pH7.5 and 150 mM NaCl was used. Crystals of the complex were grown at 18 ℃ using the sitting drop vapor diffusion technique by mixing equal amounts of protein solution and reservoir buffer containing the precipitating agents.Cryo-EM1. Cryo-EM sample preparationApply 3 μL protein sample on the grid treated with Pelco EasiGlow discharge, with subsequent blotting leaving only a thin liquid film on the grid by using Vitrobot. The thin film is then vitrified, typically by plunging into liquid ethane.2. Cryo-EM sample screening & optimizationProceed to load the Cryo-EM samples onto the Talos Glacios 200 kV and assess the sample behavior, specifically focusing on the contrast and orientations of particle. Typically, it is anticipated that several iterations of optimization will be requisite to obtain optimal Cryo-EM samples.3. Data collection on Talos Glacios 200kVAcquire datasets on optimal Cryo-EM samples, followed by image processing. Further evaluate the quality of datasets. If possible, obtaining a density map at medium resolution.4. Data collection on Titan Krios 300kVTo increase the resolution of structure by using a 300kV TEM with higher performance.5. Image processing & model buildingImage processing is a multi-stage processing workflow, which encompassed initial pre-processing, followed by particle selection, 2D classification (two-dimensional classification) , 3D classification (three-dimensional classification) , 3D refinement (three-dimensional refinement) , and subsequent local refinement. Multiple iterations of model construction and refinement were executed in against the acquired density map.ResultsProtein assemblyThe results of SEC demonstrated that Gal3-e and Fab were successfully assembled into homogeneous binary complex (FIG. 12) . It is hard to detect the Gal3-e peptide by using regular SDS-PAGE due to its small molecular weight (3 kDa) (FIGs. 13A and 13B) .We have performed multi-rounds of co-crystallization screening and optimization of Gal3-e-Fab complex, including co-crystallized with different concentrations of samples, screening about 700 conditions (Kits) . The large block-shaped and rod-shaped crystals were observed by multi-rounds of optimization, but no diffraction was detected by using internal XRD or at SSRF (Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility) .Cryo-EMTo obtain optimal Cryo-EM samples, we have undertaken multi-rounds of sample screening and optimization, including adding types of detergent to increase diversity of particle orientation and using types of grids. Finally, we found that utilization of FGG grid (treated with Graphene) for sample preparation exhibits the best behaviors of particle with high contrast and diverse orientations. Then we collected 5 datasets of optimal Cryo-EM samples on Talos Glacios 200kV. Obtained a density map of (angstroms) . The local density map of Gal3-e still could not be well identified due to the low resolution.To further increase resolution, we prepared another batch of Cryo-EM samples and collected a dataset (8, 447 images) on Titan Krios 300kV equipped with Falcon 4i and energy filter. Finally, we obtained amap through delicate image processing.Model buildingTwo preliminary structural models of the Fab fragment were constructed utilizing the Swiss-Model (https: / / swissmodel. expasy. org) and Alphafold3 (https: / / alphafoldserver. com) , respectively. Subsequently, these models were fitted into the electron density map at a resolution ofComparative analysis revealed that the model generated by Swiss-Model exhibited markedly higher precision. To enhance the accuracy of the model, iterative rounds of refinement were conducted against the density map employing the software tools Coot and Phenix. Within the density map, 15 amino residues of Gal3-e could be traced in the density map, 9 of these could be identified (FIG. 14) . The interface and interactions between Gal3-e and Fab are shown in FIGs. 15 and 16.Example 8. SIF001 for Parkinson’s Disease TreatmentThis example illustrates therapeutic effects of SIF001 in a Parkinson’s disease mimic mice model.SummaryThe primary objective of this in vivo study is to assess the therapeutic effect of anti-Galectin-3 antibody (mSIF001) in reducing neuroinflammation and PD pathology in 10-week-old C57BL / 6 male mice injected with αSYN oligomers. Amyloid protein conformational oligomers are neurotoxic in PD. In vitro, we found that Gal-3 intrinsically promotes oligomerization and that SF001 reduced or degraded αSYN oligomer formation. In order to mimic the PD pathology, αSYN oligomers intrinsically promoted by Galectin-3 was injected into the parenchyma of one hemisphere under stereotactic control. In order to investigate the effect of αSYN oligomers, mice under went the locomotor function test using rotarod. After 3 months, mice produced a statistically significant dysfunction as compared to age match control mice which is one of the phenotypic feature in PD. Mice were dosed with 30 mg / kg anti-HEL mouse IgG2A (isotype control group) or received 30 mg / kg mSIF001 (active group) via i. p. injection four weeks (2 doses / week) . Treatment with anti-Galectin-3 antibody showed improvement in locomotor function and was statistically significant as compared to mice treated with Isotype control Ab. Mice were sacrificed for brain neuroinflammation analysis by immunohistochemistry (IHC) immunofluorescence (IF) staining. Results showed that, compared to the isotype antibody treatment, mSIF001 treatment significantly reduced underlying neuroinflammatory activation of microglia. In addition, mice dosed with mSF001 shows significant decrease in αSYN aggregates as compared to mice dosed with Isotype-control.Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the world. It is characterized by intense neurodegeneration in the basal ganglia area leading to severe and progressive motor impairment. The presence of Lewy bodies (LBs) , described as neuronal intracytoplasmic deposits of α-synuclein (αSYN) , is the second hallmark of the disease. While dopaminergic neurons from the substantia nigra (SN) are frequently the most affected cells, neurodegeneration and LB formation commonly appear in other central and enteric nervous system locations even years before than in the SN. Disease modifying therapies are being developed that work either through targeting αSYN, inflammation, metabolism, vasculature and / or neuroplasticity. Of all the clinical trials conducted to date, none of these treatments have met clinical efficacy endpoints for PD. Thus, there is an urgent unmet medical need for treatments that can either stop or reverse the progression of PD. It has been observed prominent endogenous role for galectin-3 (GAL3) in pathological αSYN strains associated with LB formation and toxicity, thus pointing to GAL3 inhibition as a potential future therapeutical strategy to prevent or slow down PD progressionGalectin-3 (Gal-3) plays a pivotal role in microglia-mediated neuroinflammation causing many neurological disorders. A mouse model of PD showing an increase in αSYN aggregates and neuroinflammation was used to assess the effect of mSIF001, an anti-Gal-3 monoclonal antibody, on the severity of neuroinflammation and the pathological changes underlying the PD pathology.Methods and ExperimentsStudy Design. Study design is outlined in FIG. 17.Preparation of Alpha synuclein oligomers. It has been observed Galectin-3 intrinsically promotes oligomers of amyloid prooteins. Alpha synuclein oligomers were prepared by incubating monomeric α- synuclein (300 μM) with and without Galectin-3 (100ug / ml) in phosphate buffer pH 7.4 under stirring condition with a stir bar for 0-5hrs. Aplha synuclein oligomers were characterized by dot blot and western blot using conformational oligomer specific antibody A11 and Aplha synuclein Ab Syn1.Intrastriatal injection of recombinant human α-synuclein oligomers. At 10 weeks of age, male mice were deeply anesthetized with vaporized isoflurane on a stereotactic frame. Animals were bilaterally injected with 2 μL (per side) of 300 μM oligomeric α-synuclein intrinsically promoted by Galectin-3, or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) as controls. Solutions were injected at a constant rate of 0.5 μL / min and the needle left in place for 5 min followed by slowly with- drawing the needle. Coordinates for the striatum were + 0.2 mm AP, ± 2.0 mm ML, -2.6 mm DV. Two separate cohorts were utilized in this study. The first cohort had an experimental group injected with Alpha synuclein + Galectin-3 and a control group with bur hole only.Behavior testing. Locomotor function test was conducted before and every month after injection of oligomers. Mice were handled for 3 days before testing began and habituated to testing room for 1 h at the start of each testing day. The order of test will be designed to minimize stress to the animals, such that low-stress tasks will be completed before high-stress tasks. Additionally, mice received at least one day rest between each test.To further test motor activity, mice were placed on an accelerating rotarod apparatus, and time taken to fall was measured. Mice were trained on the apparatus over 2 days, with the rotarod speed increasing from 4 rpm to 40 rpm over 300 s. If mice had not fallen by 120 s on the testing trial, the rotation was halted, the mouse was removed, and the time was recorded as 120 s. Mice underwent three trials per day, with an inter-trial rest time of at least 30 min.Animals and Husbandry. 10 weeks old C57BL / 6J male mice (n=30) were used for experiments. Mice were on a 12-h light / dark cycle and had ad libitum access to food and water. Animals were housed in pairs in a controlled temperature environment under a 12-h light / dark cycle, with access to chow and water ad libitum. All animals were provided at least 72 h to acclimate following arrival at the facility, with periodic cage changes, before surgery.Administration and Sample Collection. 10-week old C57BL / 6J male mice mimicking PD pathology after stereotactic injection of αSYN oligomers were first administered with antibody treatments via intraperitoneal (i.p. ) injection. Mice were dosed with 30 mg / kg anti-HEL mouse IgG2A (isotype control group) or received 30 mg / kg mSIF001 (active group) via i.p. injection four weeks (2 doses / week) . After four weeks, locomotor function test was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of mSIF001Ab. Mice were sacrificed, and brain tissues were processed for histological staining.Brain tissue processing. Briefly, animals were deeply anesthetized with 50 mg / kg Zoletil (i.p. ) and transcardially perfused with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) followed by 4%paraformaldehyde (PFA) in PBS. Brain was then post-fix in 4% PFA for 24 hrs at 4℃ before being transferred to a 30% sucrose solution for overnight cryoprotection. Coronal sections containing the medial and ventral hippocampus were sliced into 25 μm thick slices on a freezing stage cryostat and stored at 4℃ in 0.1M PBS for staining.Iba1 and αSYN Immunofluorescence staining. Brain sections were washed with PBS for 3 times, 10 min each time. Sections were then incubated with a blocking solution (PBS with 5% goat serum, 0.5% Triton X-100) at room temperature for 1 h. Tissues were incubated overnight with, IBA-1, and αSYN antibodies (1: 250 diluted with the blocking solution) overnight at 4℃. After being washing with PBS three times in the morning of the next day, sections were incubated with the blocking solution containing 1: 250 diluted secondary antibody for 2h. Brain sections were incubated with 5 ug / mL DAPI in PBS for nuclear staining for 15 minutes and mounted on to microscope slides to dry in a dark place and then were added with antifade mounting medium with DAPI for further analysisBioanalysis. Five brain tissue slices were taken from each mouse for staining, and the hippocampus region was selected for Nikon ECLIPSE Ti2-U. To analyze the staining intensities of Iba1, the biomarkers of microglia, and αSYN, the antibody for αSYN aggregates, respectively, ordinary one-way ANOVA was used to compare active antibody group with isotype control antibody group. A p-value below 0.05 was considered significant in post-hoc testing (*p<0.05; ***p<0.01; **p<0.001) . A p≥0.05 was considered not significant (ns) . All statistical analyses were performed using Prism 9 macbook (GraphPad, La Jolla, CA) .Results. It has been observed Galectin-3 intrinsically promotes oligomers of amyloid proteins. αSYN oligomers will be prepared by incubating monomeric α- synuclein (300 μM) with and without Galectin-3 (100ug / ml) in phosphate buffer pH 7.4 under stirring condition with a stir bar for 0-5hrs. Aplha synuclein oligomers were characterized by western blot using conformational oligomer specific antibody A11 and αSYN Ab Syn1. As shown in FIGs. 18A and 18B, the first two lanes were loaded with equal amounts of aSYN, as confirmed by the anti-aSYN antibody Syn211 (FIG. 18B) , only aSYN loaded with Gal-3 formed oligomers that were detected using the conformational oligomer specific antibody A11 (FIG. 18A) . There finding indicates that Galectin-3 intrinsically promotes αSYN oligomers. After 4hrs of incubation with Galectin-3, αSYN form LMW and HMW oligomers characterized by Western blot as shown in FIG. 18C.Animals will be bilaterally injected with 2 μL (per side) of 300 μM oligomeric α-synuclein intrinsically promoted by Galectin-3, or phosphate-buffered saline (Saline) as controls. Solutions will be injected at a constant rate of 0.5 μL / min and the needle left in place for 5 min followed by slowly with- drawing the needle. Coordinates for the striatum were + 0.2 mm AP, ±2.0 mm ML, -2.6 mm DV. After 2 months, animals under locomotor function test by rotarod and it was observed animals stereotactically injected with α-synuclein oligomer shows statistically significant deficit in locomotor function test in terms of latency as compared to age matched saline treated controls as shown in FIG. 19.We investigated the effect of mSIF001 on the reduction of neuroinflamation and α-Synuclein pathology induced by toxic α-Synuclein oligomers. After Induction of locomotor dysfunction by α-Synuclein oligomers, mice were dosed with 30 mg / kg anti-HEL mouse IgG2A (isotype control group) or received 30 mg / kg mSIF001 (active group) via i. p. injection for four weeks (2 doses / week) . In order to investigate the effect of antibodies, mice underwent the locomotor function test using rotarod. It was observed that, treatment with anti-Galectin-3 antibody shows improvement in locomotor function and the latency time was statistically significant as compared to mice treated with isotype control Ab. As shown in FIGs. 20A and 20B, significant improvement in locomotor function in terms in increase in latency time was statistically significant in mice dosed with mSIF001 Ab as compared to age matched isotype-control treated mice both after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment.To further explore any pathological changes underlying neuroinflammation, brain tissues from isotype control and active groups, and a group without any treatment, were immuno histologically stained with IBA1 biomarkers for activation of microglia.
