Placental transfer of IgG mAbs. IgG is the only antibody class that crosses the placenta through the syncytiotrophoblast layer. FcRn internalizes the maternal IgG in the endosome and releases it on the other side of the syncytiotrophoblast layer. IgG transmission significantly increases during the third trimester of pregnancy.
