Abstract excerpt
The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is a key receptor involved in the transcytosis of IgG across the maternal-fetal barrier. The level of IgG varies considerably among newborn infants. Since other Fc gamma receptors show single nucleotide functional variants, we determined whether common variant alleles exist for the FcRn. Direct sequence analysis was performed on PCR-amplified complementary DNA (cDNA) isolated from...
