Interactions of the anti-FcRn monoclonal antibody, rozanolixizumab, with Fcγ receptors and functional impact on immune cells in vitro by Omar S. Qureshi, Emma J. Sutton, Rosemary F. Bithell, Shauna M. West, Rona M. Cutler, Gillian McCluskey, Graham Craggs, Asher Maroof, Nicholas M. Barnes, David P. Humphreys, Stephen Rapecki, Bryan J. Smith, Anthony Shock

“…In the study presented here, rozanolixizumab was shown to bind to FcγRs in both protein-protein and cell-based assays, and the kinetic data were broadly as expected based on published data for an IgG4 mAb. Rozanolixizumab was also able to mediate antibody bipolar bridging (ABB), a phenomenon that led to a reduction of labeled FcγRI from the surface of human macrophages in an FcRn-dependent manner. …”
