Enhanced immunogenic potential of cancer immunotherapy antibodies in human IgG1 transgenic mice
Clinical anti-drug-antibody (ADA) responses represent a substantial obstacle to the development of efficacious therapeutic antibodies. The enhanced ADA production against the idiotype (Id) often displayed by cancer immunotherapy antibodies (CitAbs) can ...

Effects of receptor dimerization on the interaction between the class I major histocompatibility complex-related Fc receptor and IgG [PDF]
The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) transports maternal IgG from ingested milk in the gut to the bloodstream of newborn mammals. An FcRn dimer was observed in crystals of the receptor alone and of an FcRn-Fc complex, but its biological relevance was unknown.

Natural history of liver disease in a large international cohort of children with Alagille syndrome: Results from the GALA study. Abstract Background and Aims Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is a multisystem disorder, characterized by cholestasis. Existing outcome data are largely derived from tertiary centers, and real‐world data are lacking.

Targeting the Neonatal Fc Receptor for Antigen Delivery Using Engineered Fc Fragments [PDF]
AbstractThe development of approaches for Ag delivery to the appropriate subcellular compartments of APCs and the optimization of Ag persistence are both of central relevance for the induction of protective immunity or tolerance. The expression of the neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn, in APCs and its localization to the endosomal system suggest that it might

Single-domain antibodies and their formatting to combat viral infections [PDF]
Since their discovery in the 1990s, single-domain antibodies (VHHs), also known as NanobodiesA (R), have changed the landscape of affinity reagents. The outstanding solubility, stability, and specificity of VHHs, as well as their small size, ease of ...

Taking the Hinge off: An Approach to Effector-Less Monoclonal Antibodies
A variety of Fc domain engineering approaches for abrogating the effector functions of mAbs exists. To address some of the limitations of the current Fc domain silencing approaches, we are exploring a less commonly considered option which relies on the ...

Characterization of the Interaction between the Herpes Simplex Virus Type I Fc Receptor and Immunoglobulin G [PDF]
Herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) virions and HSV-1-infected cells bind to human immunoglobulin G (hIgG) via its Fc region. A complex of two surface glycoproteins encoded by HSV-1, gE and gI, is responsible for Fc binding.
