THE FUNCTIONAL REGULATION OF FCRN EXPRESSION AND FCRN-MEDIATED ANTIGEN PRESENTATION
The neonatal Fc receptor for IgG (FcRn), a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-related molecule, plays an important role in IgG transport and protection. The transport of IgG across epithelial and endothelial barriers and the IgG homeostasis maintained by FcRn contributes to the …

The effect of manipulating apoptotic cell uptake on their immunogenicity
… second which re-directed apoptotic cells through Fc? receptors and conferred enhanced phagocytosis by both macrophages and immature dendritic cells (DN-MFG-E8-Fc) in a dose-dependent manner.<br/>Cross-presentation of cell-associated antigen by bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) was …

Engineering aglycosylated antibody variants with immune effector functions
… - mediated by the interaction of the conserved Fc regions of the antibody with the Fc gamma receptors (Fc[gamma]Rs) on immune cells - is critical to the efficacy of several. This thesis describes the engineering of antibody Fc domain interactions with Fc[gamma]Rs, using the' yeast S. cerevisiae. …

Modeling steric effects in antibody aggregation using rule-based methods
… initiated by the aggregation of antigens and IgE-FcεRI antibody-receptor complexes. Computational modeling of antibody- antigen aggregate formation as well as the size and structure of these aggregates is an important tool for greater understanding of the allergic response. In addition, the …

Targeting the Neonatal Fc Receptor, FcRn, to Treat Autoimmunity and Elucidation of Sites of FcRn Function
The neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn, is expressed in many different cell types and serves several functions, some of which are cell type-specific. A function common to most cell types that express this receptor is salvage of IgG from cellular degradation which is responsible for the long in vivo …
