Study on antibody Fc-glycosylation for optimal effector functions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 May 4;59(37):5555-5558. doi: 10.1039/d3cc00672g.

Abstract

A comprehensive structure-activity relationship study on antibody Fc-glycosylation has been performed using the chimeric anti-SSEA4 antibody chMC813-70 as a model. The α-2,6 sialylated biantennary complex type glycan was identified as the optimal Fc-glycan with significant enhancement in antibody effector functions, including binding to different Fc receptors and ADCC.
