Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Previous studies showed that reducing the interaction of antibody-interleukin 2 immunocytokines with Fc receptors improved their circulating half-life in mice and increased their antitumor activity. We sought to modify sequences that would increase half-life but retain the ability to activate Fc receptor-mediated effector functions. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Modified immunocytokines were assessed in vitro for...
