| Research Abstract |
In order to elucidate the differences in the biological activities of anti-TNF therapeutics, their interactions with Fc receptors were examined. TNFR-Fc fusion protein showed lower affinity to FcRn than the anti-TNF antibodies did. Apparent molecular size of the complexes composed of TNF and anti-TNF antibodies differed in each antibody, and the activation of FcγR was dependent on the complex size. These characteristics were thought to be responsible for the differences in their serum half-life regulated by FcRn, and the incidence of infusion reaction or anti-drug antibody, which is related to the activation of FcγR on immune effector cells.
