Abstract
The present inventors newly discovered that even if an antigen-binding molecule inhibits in vitro some of the physiological activities of an antigen having two or more physiological activities without inhibiting the remaining physiological activities, the molecule can promote elimination of the antigen from blood (from serum or plasma) and as a result reduce the physiological activities in vivo, when the antigen-binding molecule is conferred with the properties: (i) of binding to human FcRn under an acidic pH range condition; (ii) of binding under a neutral pH range condition to human Fc receptor stronger than native human IgG, and (iii) that its antigen-binding activity alters according to the ion concentration.
