The increased hinge flexibility of an IgG1-IgG3 hybrid monoclonal enhances Fc-mediated protection against group A streptococci

2023-10-18

Abstract excerpt

Antibodies are central to the immune response against microbes. We have previously generated a protective IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting the M protein, a critical virulence factor of Streptococcus pyogenes. Here, we generated this antibody in all human IgG subclasses and evaluated their function. Despite significantly reduced binding, the IgG3 subclass antibody demonstrated remarkably enhanced opsonic functio...
