  • * P < 0.001 compared with WT.

  • a KD data determined from kinetic analysis of two independent binding experiments and expressed as the mean ± S.D. (KD = koff/kon · 1 ×109).

  • b Half-life of the IgG/FcRn complexes at pH 6.0 [t1/2 = (ln2/koff)/60].

  • c pH at which 50% of the IgG/C-FcRn complexes dissociates as determined from a four-parameter nonlinear regression fit (described under Materials and Methods) of the ELISA data.

  • d Percentage of the total antibody in preformed complexes that remained FcRn-bound at pH 7.4 as determined by ELISA.
