  • It works like this: if a mouse is deficient in this particular FCRgIIB gatekeeper gene it will produce a genetically reduced level of what are known as Fc receptors.

  • DARTs also have been engineered with an Fc domain, which confers them with additional properties, such as Fc receptor binding and extended half-life.

  • Similar to the methods that were used to produce Digibind, Protherics was able to separate the Fab fragments from the Fc fragments which were assumed to be responsible for the allergic reaction. 2-3 Crofab and other Fab productions such as Digibind have been shown to be safe and effective in remarketing trials. 8 Nevertheless, products that are derived from an animal source have the potential to precipitate an allergic reaction in humans.

  • Doing so allowed the increased Fc receptors to halt the formation of the autoantibodies associated with lupus.
