What is the actual quantitative contribution of FcRn-mediated transcytosis to BBB antibody transport in humans?
PARTIALLY ADDRESSED
The debate revealed conflicting estimates ranging from <5% to 20% for FcRn's role in BBB transport, with species differences unresolved. This fundamental uncertainty undermines rational design of FcRn-targeted therapeutics and dosing strategies.
