Patent number: 9012603Abstract: The invention relates to peptides which bind to human FcRn and inhibit binding of the Fc portion of an IgG to an FcRn, thereby modulating serum IgG levels. The disclosed compositions and methods may be used for example, in treating autoimmune diseases and inflammatory disorders. The invention also relates to methods of using and methods of making the peptides of the invention.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2009Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Biogen Idec Hemophilia Inc.Inventors: Adam R. Mezo, Kevin A. McDonnell, Cristina A. Tan Hehir, Alfredo Castro

Patent number: 8906844Abstract: The invention relates to peptides derivatized with a hydrophilic polymer which, in some embodiments, bind to human FcRn and inhibit binding of the Fc portion of an IgG to an FcRn, thereby modulating serum IgG levels. The disclosed compositions and methods may be used in some embodiments, for example, in treating autoimmune diseases and inflammatory disorders. The invention also relates, in further embodiments, to methods of using and methods of making the peptides of the invention.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2008Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Biogen Idec Hemophilia Inc.Inventors: Adam R. Mezo, Kevin A. McDonnell

Publication number: 20120021484Abstract: The invention is directed to methods of purifying Fc-containing molecules using a soluble neonatal Fc receptor (sFcRn). Native FcRn binds Fc-containing proteins at or below about pH 6.5 and releases them at or above about pH 7 and provides a much milder approach for capturing and purifying Fc-containing proteins, in particular, therapeutic Fc-containing proteins. Other embodiments of the invention provide modifications to alter the pH for binding and elution to the sFcRn, to modulate Fc-containing protein binding affinity, to affect sFcRn linkage to a support surface, or to improve the stability of sFcRn to conditions utilized in the methods of the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2009Publication date: January 26, 2012Applicant: Biogen Idec MA Inc.Inventor: Kevin A. McDonnell
