Comment: Nipocalimab (M281) is a fully human neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn; Fc gamma receptor and transporter FCGRT) targeting monoclonal antibody [2], that is designed to reduce circulating IgG antibody levels, with the focus on neutralising pathogenic autoantibodies in autoimmune diseases [3]. Its binding is pH insensitive, so it can bind IgG throughout the FcRn-mediated IgG recycling pathway, in the endosomal and extracellular compartments.
