Abstract:
:Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease characterized by pathogenic immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies that bind to platelets, causing their phagocytic removal and leading to reductions in platelet number. The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) selectively salvages and recycles IgG, including pathogenic IgG, thereby extending the half-life of IgG in plasma. Two anti-mouse FcRn monoclonal antibodies (mAb) (4470 and 4464) were generated to evaluate the effect of inhibiting IgG recycling. Statistically significant reductions in plasma IgG concentration were observed upon administration of 4470 (10, 30 and 100 mg/kg) in wild-type mice. In a passive mouse model of ITP, 4464 alleviated the reduction in platelet number and/or preserved newly produced platelets when dosed prophylactically as well as in a therapeutic dosing regimen once platelet numbers had already been reduced. These results support the investigation of anti-FcRn therapy as a potential treatment for ITP.
