Online now: Pharmacologic glycoengineering of Fcγ receptor IIIa enhances force-resistant IgG-FcγR interactions and anti-tumor antibody efficacy

Pharmacologic glycoengineering of Fcγ receptor IIIa enhances force-resistant IgG-FcγR interactions and anti-tumor antibody efficacy
Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies are central to cancer treatment but often show incomplete efficacy. Cheng et al. demonstrate that transient host-cell glycoengineering to reduce N-glycan trimming strengthens IgG-FcγRIIIa bond resilience under vascular flow forces and potentiates therapeutic antibody efficacy in lymphoma and melanoma models. This study establishes force durability as an optimization parameter for therapeutic antibodies beyond the affinity-centric paradigm.

Resistance of IgG–FcR interactions to shear stress can be engineered, establishing a separate parameter for optimizing antibody effector functions beyond affinity alone.

This is deeply flawed. One example- our understanding of antibody function in vivo is in very early stages. AI cannot predict outcomes without good foundational data. Basic research is essential to generate the knowledge base and every discovery still requires validation in diverse human cohorts.
