Abstract excerpt
Antibody-Fc receptor (FcR) interactions play an important role in the mechanism of action of most therapeutic antibodies against cancer. Effector cell activation through FcR triggering may induce tumor cell killing via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Reciprocally, FcR cross-linking of antibody may lead to the induction of apoptotic signaling in tumor cells. The relative importance of these...
