RESISTIN-SPECIFIC ANTIBODY AND USE THEREOF

The present invention relates to an antibody against resistin and use thereof and, more specifically, to a resistin antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that inhibits the activity of resistin by blocking resistin/CAP1 binding, a nucleic acid encoding same, a vector comprising the nucleic acid, a cell transformed with the vector, a method for preparing the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, an antibody-drug conjugate comprising the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, a bi- or multi-specific antibody, a chimeric antigen receptor, an immune cell containing same, and a composition for the prevention or treatment of diseases that can be treated through the inhibition of resistin activity, the composition comprising same. A novel antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds to resistin, according to the present invention, blocks resistin/CAP1 binding by binding to resistin, thereby inhibiting the activity of resistin, and thus is useful for the development of therapeutic agents for various diseases associated with resistin.
