Fundamental Mechanisms of Immune Checkpoint Blockade Therapy

TL;DR: The current state of understanding of T-cell costimulatory mechanisms and checkpoint blockade, primarily of CTLA4 and PD-1, is reviewed, and conceptual gaps in knowledge are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

IgG subclasses and allotypes: from structure to effector functions.

TL;DR: IgG-polymorphisms and post-translational modification of the antibodies in the form of glycosylation, affect IgG-function will be the focus of the current review.
Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutic antibodies for autoimmunity and inflammation

TL;DR: How key insights obtained from the development of therapeutic antibodies complemented by newer antibody engineering technologies are delivering a second generation of therapeutic antibody with promise for greater clinical efficacy and safety is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Strategies and challenges for the next generation of therapeutic antibodies

TL;DR: Strategies to select the best therapeutic antigen targets, to optimize the structure of IgG antibodies and to design related or new structures with additional functions are discussed.

Properties of mouse and human IgG receptors and their contribution to disease models

TL;DR: These studies led to the identification of specific cell populations responsible for the induction of various inflammatory diseases and have revealed, in particular, the unexpected contribution of neutrophils and monocytes to the induction of anaphylactic shock.

Therapeutic activity of humanized anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody and polymorphism in IgG Fc receptor FcγRIIIa gene

TL;DR: This study showed an association between the FCGR3A genotype and clinical and molecular responses to rituximab, and will certainly give rise to new pharmacogenetic approaches to the management of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

The absence of fucose but not the presence of galactose or bisecting N-acetylglucosamine of human IgG1 complex-type oligosaccharides shows the critical role of enhancing antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the lack of fucosylation of IgG1 has the most critical role in enhancement of ADCC, although several reports have suggested the importance of Gal or bisecting GlcNAc and provide important information to produce the effective therapeutic antibody.

Two Immunoglobulin G Fragment C Receptor Polymorphisms Independently Predict Response to Rituximab in Patients With Follicular Lymphoma

TL;DR: Data support the hypothesis that ADCC plays an important role in the clinical effect of rituximab at the level of the effector cell.

Fc RECEPTOR BIOLOGY

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of membrane Fc receptors (FcR) of the immunoglobulin superfamily is presented, focusing on the mechanisms by which FcR trigger and regulate biological responses of cells on which they are expressed.
