Western blot - Human FCGRT (FCRN) knockout HEK-293T cell line (AB265075)

Lanes 1-4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab228975 observed at 40 kDa. Red - loading control ab8245 observed at 38 kDa.

ab228975 Anti-FCGRT/FCRN antibody [EPR22627-25] was shown to specifically react with FCGRT/FCRN in wild-type HEK-293T cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab265075 (knockout cell lysate ab257435) was used. Wild-type and FCGRT/FCRN knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab228975 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Handling procedures

Initial handling guidelines

Upon arrival, the vial should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at -80°C. Storage at -80°C may result in loss of viability.

1. Thaw the vial in 37°C water bath for approximately 1-2 minutes.
2. Transfer the cell suspension (0.8 mL) to a 15 mL/50 mL conical sterile polypropylene centrifuge tube containing 8.4 mL pre-warmed culture medium, wash vial with an additional 0.8 mL culture medium (total volume 10 mL) to collect remaining cells, and centrifuge at 201 x g (rcf) for 5 minutes at room temperature. 10 mL represents minimum recommended dilution. 20 mL represents maximum recommended dilution.
3. Resuspend the cell pellet in 5 mL pre-warmed culture medium and count using a haemocytometer or alternative cell counting method seed all remaining cells into a T25.
4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO2. Check the culture one day after revival and continue to check until 80% confluent. Media change can be given if needed.
5. Once confluent passage into an appropriate flask at a density of 2x104 cells/cm2. Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules. Cultures should be monitored daily.

Subculture guidelines
  • All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
  • A guide seeding density of 2x104 cells/cm2 is recommended.
  • Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.
Culture medium

DMEM (High Glucose) + 10% FBS

Cryopreservation medium

Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

The protein FCGRT also known as FCRN or FcRn has a significant role in the immune system by binding to the Fc region of immunoglobulin G (IgG). This binding prolongs the half-life of IgG by preventing its lysosomal degradation. The molecular mass of the FCGRT protein is roughly 52 kDa. It is prominently expressed in epithelial and endothelial cells across several tissues including the placenta and liver ensuring IgG stability in circulation.
Biological function summary

FCGRT/FCRN is involved in the transportation and recycling of IgG antibodies. It forms a complex with beta-2 microglobulin that contributes to its function. This complex allows IgG antibodies to traverse cellular barriers such as epithelial cells without being digested. This protein is important in maintaining humoral immunity by regulating IgG levels in the bloodstream and similar processes can be observed in mouse FCRN and cynomolgus monkey milk indicating a conserved mechanism across species.

Pathways

FCGRT/FCRN plays a part in the neonatal Fc receptor pathway. This pathway influences IgG homeostasis and impacts antigen presentation to T cells. By doing so it affects immune surveillance and immune tolerance mechanisms. The pathway involves interactions with related proteins such as albumin which also binds to FCRN for extending its half-life in serum.

Disruptions in FCGRT/FCRN functionality relate to autoimmune conditions and inflammatory diseases. Conditions such as lupus and myasthenia gravis show altered IgG recycling or transportation implicating FCRN in their pathology. Accordingly researchers have explored FCRN inhibitors as potential therapeutic interventions. These inhibitors aim to modulate the interaction between FCRN and IgG therefore impacting the disease progression linked to these disorders.
