Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is caused by natural killer (NK) cells upon recognition of antigen-bound IgG <i>via</i> FcγRIIIa. This mechanism is crucial for cytolysis of pathogen-infected cells and monoclonal antibody (mAb)-mediated elimination of cancer cells. However, there is concern that mAb-based cancer therapy induces ADCC against non-target cells expressing antigens. To date, no strategy has been reported to enhance the selectivity of ADCC to protect non-target cel ...[more]
