Abstract excerpt
Anti-MICA/B antibodies that inhibit the shedding hold promise for cancer immunotherapy and are in phase 1 clinical trials. Although MICA/B-shedding inhibition promotes natural killer (NK) cell-driven immunity by NKG2D engagement, the Fc enables antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. We, therefore, engineer the Fc of an anti-MICA/B antibody (clone 7C6) through GAALIE mutations that increase the binding affinity...
