Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) represent an important class of therapeutic modalities. To optimize their pharmaceutical properties, studies have focused on improving mAb pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamic profiles by modulating their interactions with the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). The influence of both the chemical and physical properties of IgGs has been examined in the context of FcRn interact...
