Fc Receptor (FcR) Ligand

Nipocalimab (M281) is a fully humanized, recombinant, and non-glycosylated IgG1 monoclonal antibody. Nipocalimab can bind to the IgG-binding site of FcRn with high affinity and inhibit the transplacental transfer of IgG. Nipocalimab can be used in the research of fetal and neonatal hemolytic disease, myasthenia gravis, and various IgG-mediated autoimmune diseases.

VIR-2482 is a monoclonal antibody targeting influenza A hemagglutinin (HA). VIR-2482 is generated by introducing LS mutations (M428L/N434S) into the Fc region of MEDI8852 (HY-P991446). VIR-2482 binds to the conserved HA stem epitope across all 18 influenza A HA subtypes, neutralizes a broad spectrum of H1N1 and H3N2 strains, binds to FcγRIIIa, FcγRIIa and C1q, and induces antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity. VIR-2482 reduces morbidity and mortality caused by seasonal influenza A strains and provides prophylactic protection in mice. VIR-2482 can be used in research related to influenza A disease.
