Meanwhile, the Fc region (or "stem") of the antibody attaches to other immune cells. These include phagocytes, which engulf infected cells, and natural killer cells, which perforate and poison them.

Fine-tuned by the immune system to latch onto a particular site on a pathogen, Y-shaped antibodies bind to their targets with their arms. Meanwhile, the Fc region (or "stem") of the antibody ...

Antibodies consists of two components – called Fab and Fc – with Fab handling targeting of the molecule and Fc responsible for function. Leaving the Fc region alone could help the antibodies ...

Recently, a new class of therapeutics that disable the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), which protects ... pH and decreased dissociation from FcRn. 15 Antibodies such as IgG3 that possess increased ...

The first drug based on 'Trap' technology, which fuses two receptor components and a portion of an antibody molecule called the 'Fc' region, has been given marketing authorization by the US Food ...

A modified, smaller version of the antibody (scFV) was found to be equally effective, blocking fertilization in 100% of IVF tests with mouse eggs. Because it lacks the immune-triggering Fc region ...
