Human cytomegalovirus evades antibody-mediated immunity through endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation of the FcRn receptor

Nature Communications, 2019
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can persist for the life of a host in the face of robust immune responses owing to a wide range of immune evasion strategies.

An FcRn-targeted mucosal vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission

Nature Communications, 2023
SARS-CoV-2 is primarily transmitted through droplets and airborne aerosols, and in order to prevent infection and reduce viral spread vaccines should elicit protective immunity in the airways.

The Immunologic Functions of the Neonatal Fc Receptor for IgG [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Immunology, 2012
Careful regulation of the body's immunoglobulin G (IgG) and albumin concentrations is necessitated by the importance of their respective functions. As such, the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), as a single receptor, is capable of regulating both of these molecules and has become an important focus of investigation. In addition to these essential protection

Facilitating Genetic Testing for Perinatal Demise: Development of a Multidisciplinary Workflow

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic contributors to perinatal demise are common but frequently undiagnosed due to clinical and logistical barriers. We aimed to improve access to genetic for intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD), stillbirth, and early neonatal death by developing a multidisciplinary workflow.

Sjögren Disease—B Cells at the Brink: From Autoimmunity to Lymphomagenesis and the Rise of Novel B Cell–Targeted Therapies

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Sjögren disease (SjD) is a common systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of the exocrine glands, resulting in dryness. Patients frequently exhibit extraglandular manifestations affecting various organ systems. To date, there are no US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)‐approved disease‐modifying therapies for SjD. In this review, we
