Antagonism of the Neonatal Fc Receptor as an Emerging Treatment for Myasthenia Gravis [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease in which immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies are formed against the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) or other components of the neuromuscular junction.

Leveraging neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) to enhance antibody transport across the blood brain barrier [PDF]

Nature Communications
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) restricts efficient penetration of systemically delivered therapeutic antibodies into the brain, limiting the development of this class of drugs to treat neurodegenerative diseases.

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

Microorganisms, 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 ...

The Fab region of IgG impairs the internalization pathway of FcRn upon Fc engagement

Nature Communications, 2022
Disrupting the association between the Immunoglobulin G constant fragment (Fc) and the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) by engineered antibodies is a promising strategy to reduce autoantibody levels in autoimmune diseases.

Fc receptor engagement of HIV-1 Env-specific antibodies in mothers and infants predicts reduced vertical transmission

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
IntroductionInfants acquire maternal antibodies by Fc receptor transcytosis across the placenta during pregnancy. Fc receptors are expressed on immune cells and are important for activation of effector cell functions.MethodsIn this study, we evaluated Fc

In vivo pharmacokinetic enhancement of monomeric Fc and monovalent bispecific designs through structural guidance

Communications Biology, 2021
Lu Shan et al. present a structure-guided approach to engineer a monovalent form of the fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of an IgG4 antibody to adapt multiple versions of half-life extension modifications and bispecific targeting.

Antigen physiochemical properties allosterically effect the IgG Fc-region and Fc neonatal receptor affinity

mAbs, 2020
The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is a key membrane protein that plays an integral role in serum immunoglobulin (IgG) recycling, which extends the half-life of antibody.
