Description

Background

The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is responsible for transporting maternal IgGs to fetus/newborns and maintaining the homeostasis of IgGs in adults. FcRn resembles class I major histocompatibility complex in structure, and is composed of a transmembrane heavy chain and an invariant β2 microglobulin. Changes in the affinity of IgGs to FcRn lead to changes in the half-life of engineered IgGs and Fc fusion proteins. Longer half-life of therapeutic antibodies means lower dose and longer interval between administering. For some diagnostic agents, including imaging or radio-labeled agents, a shorter half-life in circulation results in lower non-specific binding and decreased side effects. Therefore, studying the interaction of FcRn and therapeutic antibodies has direct clinical implications.
