Regulation of immune responses by the neonatal Fc receptor and its therapeutic implications

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
As a single receptor, the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is critically involved in regulating albumin and IgG serum concentrations by protecting these two ligands from degradation.

AMPA, NMDA and GABAA receptor mediated network burst dynamics in cortical cultures in vitro [PDF]

Proc. Int. Works. Comp. Syst. Biol. TICSP series 8 (2011) 181-184, 2018
In this work we study the excitatory AMPA, and NMDA, and inhibitory GABAA receptor mediated dynamical changes in neuronal networks of neonatal rat cortex in vitro. Extracellular network-wide activity was recorded with 59 planar electrodes simultaneously under different pharmacological conditions.

Application of humanized mice in the safety experiments of antibody drugs

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract of this review highlights the critical role of humanized mice in the safety evaluation of antibody drugs. First, the inherent immunogenicity of antibody drugs can lead to the production of antidrug antibodies and hypersensitivity reactions on repeated administration.

Programmable half-life and anti-tumour effects of bispecific T-cell engager-albumin fusions with tuned FcRn affinity

Communications Biology, 2021
Mandrup et al. describe a panel of recombinant albumin fusions, engineered with different affinities to the human neonatal Fc receptor to program the half-life extension of a bispecific (EGFR/CD3) T-cell engager.

Fc Engineering of Human IgG1 for Altered Binding to the Neonatal Fc Receptor Affects Fc Effector Functions [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2015
Abstract Engineering of the constant Fc part of monoclonal human IgG1 (hIgG1) Abs is an approach to improve effector functions and clinical efficacy of next-generation IgG1-based therapeutics. A main focus in such development is tailoring of in vivo half-life and transport properties by engineering the pH-dependent interaction between ...

Flow cytometry to assess the counts and physiological state of Cronobacter sakazakii cells after heat exposure [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Cronobacter sakazakii is an opportunistic pathogen associated with outbreaks of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, septicemia, and meningitis. Reconstituted powdered infant formulae (PIF) is the most common vehicle of infection. Plate count methods do not provide direct information on the physiological status of cells.

Human FcRn Tissue Expression Profile and Half-Life in PBMCs

Biomolecules, 2019
System-wide quantitative characterization of human neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) properties is critical for understanding and predicting human PK (pharmacokinetics) as well as the distribution of mAbs and Fc-fusion proteins using PBPK (physiologically ...

An Introduction to Rule-based Modeling of Immune Receptor Signaling [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Cells process external and internal signals through chemical interactions. Cells that constitute the immune system (e.g., antigen presenting cell, T-cell, B-cell, mast cell) can have different functions (e.g., adaptive memory, inflammatory response) depending on the type and number of receptor molecules on the cell surface and the specific ...

Conjunctive Queries for Logic-Based Information Extraction [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
This thesis offers two logic-based approaches to conjunctive queries in the context of information extraction. The first and main approach is the introduction of conjunctive query fragments of the logics FC and FC[REG], denoted as FC-CQ and FC[REG]-CQ respectively.
