Real-world efficacy of eculizumab in generalized myasthenia gravis patients with poor early response to efgartigimod: a prospective cohort study [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
ObjectiveThe management of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) poses a therapeutic challenge. Efgartigimod, a neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) inhibitor, has significant efficacy in patients with positive acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies.

From Payload-First Toward Dual-Mechanism Antibody-Drug Conjugates. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Mater
Conjugation converts potent antibodies into underexposed carriers. This perspective defines the antibody exposure deficit and maps a mechanism‐first design space from payload‐first to antibody‐first ADC architectures, integrating DAR, linker chemistry, and Fc engineering to guide rational design of constructs that balance targeted cytotoxicity with ...

The importance of FcRn in neuro-immunotherapies: From IgG catabolism, FCGRT gene polymorphisms, IVIg dosing and efficiency to specific FcRn inhibitors. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) binds endogenous IgG and protects it from lysosomal degradation by transporting it back to the cell surface to re-enter the circulation, extending the serum IgG life span.

Delanzomib, a Novel Proteasome Inhibitor, Combined With Adalimumab Drastically Ameliorates Collagen-Induced Arthritis in Rats by Improving and Prolonging the Anti-TNF-α Effect of Adalimumab

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Delanzomib is a novel proteasome inhibitor initially developed for treating multiple myeloma. It was found to inhibit the expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). This study aimed to investigate the ameliorating effect of delanzomib on collagen-

Activation of the JNK/MAPK Signaling Pathway by TGF-β1 Enhances Neonatal Fc Receptor Expression and IgG Transcytosis

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) transports maternal immunoglobulin G (IgG) to the foetus or newborn and protects the IgG from degradation. FcRn is expressed in several porcine tissues and cell types and its expression levels are regulated by immune and ...

Delving into Molecular Pathways: Analyzing the Mechanisms of Action of Monoclonal Antibodies Integrated in IMGT/mAb-DB for Myasthenia Gravis

open access: yesVaccines, 2023
Background: Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a rare autoimmune disease presenting with auto-antibodies that affect the neuromuscular junction. In addition to symptomatic treatment options, novel therapeutics include monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).

Transmissible Gastroenteritis Virus Infection Up-Regulates FcRn Expression via Nucleocapsid Protein and Secretion of TGF-β in Porcine Intestinal Epithelial Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) is a porcine intestinal coronavirus that causes fatal severe watery diarrhea in piglets. The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is the only IgG transport receptor, its expression on mucosal surfaces is triggered upon ...

FcRn Antagonism Leads to a Decrease of Desmoglein-Specific B Cells: Secondary Analysis of a Phase 2 Study of Efgartigimod in Pemphigus Vulgaris and Pemphigus Foliaceus

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
BackgroundImmunoglobulin G (IgG) levels are maintained by the IgG-recycling neonatal Fc-receptor (FcRn). Pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus are debilitating autoimmune disorders triggered by IgG autoantibodies against mucosal and epidermal ...
