Megalin Orchestrates FcRn Endocytosis and Trafficking [PDF]
The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is highly expressed in the renal proximal tubule and is important for the reclamation of albumin by cellular transcytosis to prevent its loss in the urine. The initial event of this transcellular transport mechanism is the

Murine cancer cachexia models replicate elevated catabolic pembrolizumab clearance in humans
Background Monoclonal antibody (mAb) immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies have dramatically impacted oncology this past decade. However, only about one‐third of patients respond to treatment, and biomarkers to predict responders are lacking ...

Half-life extension of efficiently produced DARPin serum albumin fusions as a function of FcRn affinity and recycling. [PDF]
Serum albumin shows slow clearance from circulation due to neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn)-mediated recycling and has been used for half-life extension. We report here fusions to a high-affinity DARPin, binding to Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EpCAM ...

Combining HDX‐MS and NMR enables the mapping of epitopes and paratopes in full‐length antibody complexes, revealing transient interactions and potential artifacts. ABSTRACT Recombinant biomacromolecules have significantly transformed pharmaceuticals, in particular monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that target key areas in oncology, immunology, inflammation,

Targeting the Neonatal Fc Receptor, FcRn, to Treat Autoimmunity and Elucidation of Sites of FcRn Function [PDF]
The neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn, is expressed in many different cell types and serves several functions, some of which are cell type-specific. A function common to most cell types that express this receptor is salvage of IgG from cellular degradation ...

Crystal structure of the compound UCB-FcRn-303 (R enantiomer) bound to FcRnECD.
(A) The protein crystallized as a dimer composed of two β2m (dark grey and green) and two α-chain (light grey and blue) molecules. (B) At the interface of β2m and the α-chain, UCB-FcRn-303 (grey) occupies a binding pocket with Glycine, Cysteine ...

Characterization of the rabbit neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) and analyzing the immunophenotype of the transgenic rabbits that overexpresses FcRn [PDF]
The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) regulates IgG and albumin homeostasis, mediates maternal IgG transport, takes an active role in phagocytosis, and delivers antigen for presentation.

Factor VIII-Fc Activates Natural Killer Cells via Fc-Mediated Interactions With CD16
The most challenging complication associated with Factor VIII (FVIII) replacement therapy is the development of neutralizing anti-drug antibodies, or inhibitors, which occur in 23-35% of severe (FVIII level <1%) hemophilia A (HA) patients and are a ...
