A genetically engineered human IgG mutant with enhanced cytolytic activity
1 May 1992
Abstract excerpt
A mutant chimeric anti-5-dimethylaminonaphthalene-1-sulfonyl human Ig gamma that exhibited augmented effector function was constructed. Utilizing directed mutagenesis, a serine residue near the carboxyl terminus of the human IgG1 H chain (Ser444) was replaced by a cysteine. Novel intermolecular disulfide bonds between Cys444 residues linked pairs of Ig "tail-to-tail" to form covalent dimers ((H2L2)2). These...
