The therapeutic age of the neonatal Fc receptor
Open accessAbstract
IgGs are essential soluble components of the adaptive immune response that evolved to protect the body from infection. Compared with other immunoglobulins, the role of IgGs is distinguished and enhanced by their high circulating levels, long half-life and ability to transfer from mother to offspring, properties that are conferred by interactions with neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). FcRn binds to the Fc portion of IgGs in a pH-dependent manner and protects them from intracellular degradation. It also allows their transport across polarized cells that separate tissue compartments, such as the endothelium and epithelium. Further, it is becoming apparent that FcRn functions to potentiate cellular immune responses when IgGs, bound to their antigens, form IgG immune complexes. Besides the protective role of IgG, IgG autoantibodies are associated with numerous pathological conditions. As such, FcRn blockade is a novel and effective strategy to reduce circulating levels of pathogenic IgG autoantibodies and curtail IgG-mediated diseases, with several FcRn-blocking strategies on the path to therapeutic use. Here, we describe the current state of knowledge of FcRn-IgG immunobiology, with an emphasis on the functional and pathological aspects, and an overview of FcRn-targeted therapy development.

FcRn recycles IgG in cells and is responsible for the long half-life of IgG relative to other plasma proteins.
“The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) recycles immunoglobulin G (IgG) in cells and is responsible for the long half-life of IgG relative to other plasma proteins.”
From The uptake, intracellular trafficking and recycling of FcRn-blocking therapeutics in human endothelial cells in vitro (2026) · cites this paper as [2]
The Passive immune functions section says FcRn recycles IgG within cells and helps give it a long half-life, but its comparison is with other antibody isotypes, not plasma proteins generally. The FcRn–ligand interactions section also reports that albumin, another plasma protein, has a long FcRn-dependent half-life. Page numbers are not available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
