Characterization of new human CD20 monoclonal antibodies with potent cytolytic activity against non-Hodgkin lymphomas

TL;DR: With increasing evidence that mAb therapeutic activity in vivo depends on complement activation, these new CD20 reagents with their slow off-rates and increased potency in CDC hold considerable promise for improved clinical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibody fucosylation differentially impacts cytotoxicity mediated by NK and PMN effector cells.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that lack of fucose does not generally increase the ADCC activity of therapeutic antibodies and that the impact of Fc glycosylation on ADCC is critically dependent on the recruited effector cell type.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complement-dependent tumor cell lysis triggered by combinations of epidermal growth factor receptor antibodies.

TL;DR: A remarkable synergy for EGFR antibodies is shown, which resulted in potent complement activation via the classic pathway and effective lysis of tumor cells and is exploited to develop novel and more effective treatments for solid cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immature Neutrophils Mediate Tumor Cell Killing via IgA but Not IgG Fc Receptors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined human and mouse neutrophil-mediated tumor cell lysis via targeting the IgA FcR, FcalphaRI (CD89), in more detail.
