Interaction between IgG Fc and the neonatal Fc receptor. a Recycling of serum IgG by pH-dependent binding with FcRn. b Complex structure of human FcRn and human IgG Fc variant (M252Y/S254T/T256E) (PDB: 4N0U). The key amino acid residues of human Fc region that highly contribute to the pH-dependent interaction with human FcRn were annotated in the crystal structure. The numbers of amino acid were denoted based on the Kabat EU numbering system
