Experimental and Computational Insights into the Structural Dynamics of the Fc Fragment of IgG1 Subtype from Biosimilar VEGF‐Trap

Small Structures, EarlyView.
The constant fragment (Fc) of the immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) subtype is a widely used scaffold for designing advanced therapeutics. Herein, together with the integration of experimental and computational techniques, this study reveals the structural dynamics of the N‐glycan‐bound Fc fragment of IgG1 from VEGF‐Trap, providing a new insight into enhancing ...

Mutations of Recombinant Aquaporin-4 Antibody in the Fc Domain Can Impair Complement-Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity and Transplacental Transport

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Maternal antibodies provide protection for the developing fetus. Transplacental transport of pathogenic autoantibodies might pose a risk for the developing fetus. The transport of antibodies across the placenta to the fetal circulation occurs through the

Anomalous subdiffusion in living cells: bridging the gap between experiments and realistic models through collaborative challenges [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The life of a cell is governed by highly dynamical microscopic processes. Two notable examples are the diffusion of membrane receptors and the kinetics of transcription factors governing the rates of gene expression. Different fluorescence imaging techniques have emerged to study molecular dynamics.

Dual Inhibition of Mast Cells and Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin Using a Novel Bispecific Antibody, CDX‐622

Allergy, EarlyView.
SCF and TSLP expression are known to drive unique immune responses leading to the onset of allergic and inflammatory diseases. Here, we describe the characterization of a novel bsAb, CDX‐622, that targets SCF and TSLP. CDX‐622 inhibits MC functions through SCF starvation and Type 2 inflammatory responses via TSLP inhibition.

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

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.

Efgartigimod, an FcRn antagonist, as a potential treatment for post COVID-19 syndrome

Acta Materia Medica, 2023
A significant proportion of patients who survive coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) develop a constellation of life-altering symptoms that persist long after the initial infection has resolved.

The potential for therapeutic drug monitoring of belatacept and other biologicals in solid organ transplantation

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract In solid organ transplantation (SOT), biologicals such as recombinant therapeutic proteins, monoclonal antibodies, fusion proteins and conjugates are increasingly used for immunosuppression, desensitization, ABO (blood group) incompatibility, antibody‐mediated rejections and atypical haemolytic uremic syndrome.

Fully human monoclonal antibody inhibitors of the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) reduce circulating IgG in nonhuman primates

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
The therapeutic management of antibody mediated autoimmune disease typically involves immunosuppressant and immunomodulatory strategies. However, perturbing the fundamental role of the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) in salvaging IgG from lysosomal ...

Relevance of the Materno-Fetal Interface for the Induction of Antigen-Specific Immune Tolerance

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
In humans, maternal IgGs are transferred to the fetus from the second trimester of pregnancy onwards. The transplacental delivery of maternal IgG is mediated by its binding to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) after endocytosis by the syncytiotrophoblast ...

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.
