Abstract excerpt
Fucose removal from complex-type oligosaccharide of human IgG1-type antibody results in a great enhancement of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of fucose removal on effector functions of a single-gene-encoded antibody with an scFv used as the binding domain. We generated both a fucose-negative anti-tumor associated glycoprotein (TAG)-72 scFv-Fc using...
