Abstract excerpt
An increasing number of monoclonal antibodies and derivatives such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) are of the IgG1 and IgG4 isotype with distinct structural and functional properties. In cases where antibody-mediated cytotoxicity is not desired, IgG4 is often used, as its Fc region is relatively poor at inducing antibody-dependent cell-mediated or complement-dependent cytotoxicity. IgG4 ADCs with highly...
