Fc Receptors: Key Reagents for Antibody Drug Half-Life Assessment and In Vitro Functional Validation

Why Fc Receptors Matter in Antibody Drug Development
The Fc domain of antibodies is crucial for therapeutic efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics. Optimizing interactions with Fc receptors enables you to:
Enhance Therapeutic Efficacy: Improve ADCC, ADCP, and CDC effector functions.
Extend Half-life: Leverage FcRn recycling mechanisms for improved pharmacokinetics.
Reduce Side Effects: Minimize immune-related adverse events like CRS.
We offer a comprehensive suite of Fc receptor-related products to support every stage of antibody drug development.

FcRn Binding Kit (TR-FRET)

To facilitate the evaluation of the half-life of antibody drug candidates, high-throughput screening of FcRn inhibitors within 0.5-1 hours, or identification of the binding ability between antibody drugs and FcRn, we have developed the Human FcRn Binding Kit (TR-FRET). This kit is based on a homogeneous (no wash) competition TR-FRET technology to measure the interaction between human FcRn and antibody drug candidates or FcRn inhibitors.

Kit performance is pH-dependent, aligning with the IgG-FcRn interaction mechanism
Kit performance is pH-dependent, aligning with the IgG-FcRn interaction mechanism.

The kit has been used to detect the binding activity between Human FcRn and Human IgG standard under different pH. The IC50 shows a significant increase with increasing pH, which corelates with a decreased binding between Human FcRn and Human IgG standard.

Application Data: Half-life Assessment
Kit performance is pH-dependent, aligning with the IgG-FcRn interaction mechanism.

The half-lives of these 3 monoclonal antibodies currently in clinical use generally correlate with the binding affinity to FcRn. The kit has been used to detect 3 FDA approved antibody drugs of different binding affinity to FcRn, and the IC50 trends are consistent with affinity constant from SPR as well as the actual in vivo half-life published

The kit is suitable for the detection of FcRn inhibitors. It shows that both Efgartigimod and its biosimilar, Human IgG1 Fc (C103S, M135Y, S137T, T139E, H316K, N317F) His Tag (Cat. No. IG1-H52H8) exhibit good inhibitory activity in this TR-FRET competition assay.

FcRn Stable cell lines

Overexpression cell lines are generated through the precise cloning of a target gene into a specialized expression vector, which is subsequently introduced into host cells—typically via lentiviral transduction. This process ensures the stable integration of the gene into the host genome, facilitating consistent and sustained expression of the target antigen on the cell surface. Utilizing our mature cell construction platform, we have successfully engineered high-quality FcRn stable cell lines. These cell lines serve as invaluable tools for advancing research in antibody drug development, including target specificity assessment, affinity screening and validation.
