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

“…However, with growing evidence suggesting that no Fc-containing agent is truly “silent” in this respect, we explored the engagement of FcγRs and potential functional consequences with rozanolixizumab. 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. …”
