Hemolytic disease of the newborn

The Neonatal Fc receptor which in case of humans transfer the maternal antibody from mother through placenta to fetus, in this case is involved in transporting the IgG1 antibodies from mother animal's mammary gland into milk and then again from the ingested milk across the newborn intestine into the newborn animal's circulation.

Humanize

Humanized antibody, a type of antibody modified to increase its similarity to human antibodies

Immunoglobulin G

IgG also plays an important role in antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and intracellular antibody-mediated proteolysis, in which it binds to TRIM21 (the receptor with greatest affinity to IgG in humans) in order to direct marked virions to the proteasome in the cytosol.

Immunotoxin

Antibody-drug conjugates, most, if not all, are immunotoxins but use whole antibodies and non-protein drugs
