Figure Lengend Snippet: Kinetic analysis of human FcRn immobilized and a human IgG1 (mAb1) Fc YTE mutant in solution at nine different pH values on switchSENSE biosensor chip. mAb1 Fc YTE was injected in five different concentration as two-fold dilution series with a highest concentration of (a) 60 nM at pH 5.8, (b) 60 nM at pH 6.0, (c) 100 nM at pH 6.2, (d) 150 nM at pH 6.4, (e) 200 nM at pH 6.6, (f) 300 nM at pH 6.8, (g) 400 nM at pH 7.0, (h) 800 nM at pH 7.2 and (i) 800 nM at pH 7.4. Note that the x axis for each sensorgram (a – i) has a different time scale. Each plot (a – i) shows the measured raw data (grey) and the global fit analysis as solid lines (blue fading). For (a – h) the dissociation phase is biphasic characterized by two different dissociation rate constants reflecting the affinity (1:1) and the avidity (2:1) binding mode. The interaction displays a biphasic dissociation curve reflecting affinity and avidity binding where one or two hFcrn are engaged with one mAb1 Fc YTE. The dissociation of mAb1 Fc YTE and hFcrn at pH 7.4 (I) is described by a monophasic fit model reflecting the affinity binding mode (1:1) where one hFcrn is engaged with one mAb1 Fc YTE. Panel (J) shows the applied, exemplary biphasic fit model for FcRn with mAb1 Fc YTE mutant injecting 300 nM at pH 6.0. The adequacy of the fit model is confirmed by the minimal residuals, indicating no significant deviation. The association phase occurred to be monophasic while the dissociation phase is biphasic. The overall dissociation curve is superposition of two exponential time-courses, namely the affinity binding mode (fast dissociation) and the avidity binding mode (slow dissociation). The measured data is shown in blue and the fit in black solid lines, whereas the two deconvoluted exponential time-courses are shown in grey as dashed lines. The contribution of fast and slow dissociation to the overall signal change is shown as Amplitude A fast or A slow . The determined kinetic parameters are described in .
