Abstract The pH-selective interaction between the immunoglobulin G (IgG) fragment crystallizable region (Fc region) and neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is critical for prolonging circulating half-lives of IgG molecules through intracellular trafficking recycling. By using directed evolution, we successfully identified mutations that improve pH-dependent binding human FcRn prolong serum persistence a model antibody an Fc-fusion protein. Strikingly, trastuzumab-PFc29 aflibercept-PFc29, therapeutic...

Nutritional status has been associated with long-term outcomes in cancer patients. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is calculated by serum albumin concentration and absolute lymphocyte count, it may be a surrogate biomarker for possibly predicts overall survival (OS) of gastric cancer. We evaluated the value PNI as predictor disease-free (DFS) addition to OS cohort 314 patients who underwent curative surgical resection. There were 77 PNI-low group (PNI ≤ 47.3) 237 PNI-high > 47.3)....
