Antigenic Properties of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Envelope Glycoprotein Gp120 on Virions Bound to Target Cells
The HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein, gp120, undergoes multiple molecular interactions and structural rearrangements during the course of host cell attachment and viral entry, which are being increasingly defined at the atomic level using isolated proteins. In comparison, antigenic markers of these dynamic changes are essentially unknown for single HIV-1 particles bound to target cells. Such markers...
متن کاملBroadly Neutralizing Anti-HIV-1 Antibodies Require Fc Effector Functions for In Vivo Activity
Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) against HIV-1 provide both effective pre-exposure prophylaxis and treatment of HIV-1 infection in murine and nonhuman primate models, suggesting their potential use in humans. Although much is known about the role of variable domains in the neutralization breadth and potency of these bNAbs, the contribution of Fc domains to their activities is, by contras...
متن کاملEngineered antibody Fc variants with enhanced effector function.
Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, a key effector function for the clinical efficacy of monoclonal antibodies, is mediated primarily through a set of closely related Fcgamma receptors with both activating and inhibitory activities. By using computational design algorithms and high-throughput screening, we have engineered a series of Fc variants with optimized Fcgamma receptor affini...
متن کاملModulating IgG effector function by Fc glycan engineering.
IgG antibodies contain a conserved N-glycosylation site on the Fc domain to which a complex, biantennary glycan is attached. The fine structures of this glycan modulate antibody effector functions by affecting the binding affinity of the Fc to diverse Fc receptor family members. For example, core fucosylation significantly decreases antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), whereas termi...
متن کاملAsymmetric Fc Engineering for Bispecific Antibodies with Reduced Effector Function
Asymmetric bispecific antibodies are a rapidly expanding therapeutic antibody class, designed to recognize two different target epitopes concurrently to achieve novel functions not available with normal antibodies. Many therapeutic designs require antibodies with reduced or silenced effector function. Although many solutions have been described in the literature to knockout effector function, t...
