Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The most common polymorphic variant of Fcgamma receptor type IIIa (FcgammaRIIIa), FcgammaRIIIa-158F, has been associated with inferior clinical responses to anti-CD20 chimeric IgG1 rituximab compared with FcgammaRIIIa-158V. As we previously found that removal of fucose residues from the oligosaccharides of human IgG1 results in enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, we compared the effects of...
