Overview


Tumor-associated enzymes can diminish or even negate the immune system’s ability to fight off cancerous cells by making subtle but damaging structural changes to anti-cancer antibodies.

Listen in as Dr. Zhiqiang An, of the University of Texas Health Science Center, discusses how his lab developed a set of novel antibodies to visualize these changes that has now led to a new therapeutic strategy to combat tumor evasion.


Topics

  • How a minor proteolytic cleavage at IgG hinge greatly impairs the effector functions of anticancer antibodies
  • Proteolytic hinge cleavage of IgGs as a mechanism of tumor evasion of antibody-based immunity
  • The potential of “rescue” of lost IgG Fc function as a novel therapeutic strategy for cancer
