Journal ArticleDOI

Fc-optimized antibodies elicit CD8 immunity to viral respiratory infection

TL;DR: The capacity for IgG antibodies to induce protective adaptive immunity to viral infection when they selectively activate a dendritic cell and T cell pathway is highlighted, with important implications for the development of therapeutic antibodies with improved antiviral efficacy against viral respiratory pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

A tandemly repeated sequence determines the binding domain for an erythrocyte receptor binding protein of P. falciparum

TL;DR: A repeat domain, a common feature of plasmodial antigens, has been shown to have a function independent of the immune system and is supported by the ability of antibodies directed against the repeat sequence to inhibit the in vitro invasion of erythrocytes by merozoites.
Journal Article

Disruption of Cell-Cell Adhesion Enhances Antibody-dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity: Implications for Antibody-based Therapeutics of Cancer

TL;DR: The novel ability of an antiadhesive antibody, targeted at the potent homophilic cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin, to play a dual role as participant in, and sensitizing agent for, host immune-mediated antitumor activity is demonstrated.
Journal Article

Amplified follicular immune complex deposition in mice lacking the Fc receptor gamma-chain does not alter maturation of the B cell response.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of Ag-Ab complexes in the regulation of the maturation of the B cell immune response was investigated in mice perturbed in the deposition and retention of such complexes.
