A method for improving the pharmacokinetics of an antibody, the method comprising substituting at least one amino acid of the antibody with histidine, or inserting at least one histidine into the antibody, wherein the histidine substitution or insertion increases the KD(pH5.8)/KD(pH7.4) value, defined as the ratio of KD for the antigen at pH5.8 and KD for the antigen at pH 7.4, as compared to the KD(pH5.8)/KD(pH7.4) value before the histidine substitution or insertion.
