Changes in complementarity-determining regions significantly alter IgG binding to the neonatal Fc receptor

A large body of data exists demonstrating the key role of FcRn in extending the half-life of therapeutic antibodies by rescuing them from lysosomal degradation. This led to the widely accepted hypothesis that FcRn binding of an IgG via the CH2-CH3 interface of Fc correlates with IgG half-life. Seve...
