It is based on an active modulation of antibody glycosylation during production leading to antibody products with increased ADCC (antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity).
Two receptors found to predict ADCC activation and improved outcome to rituximab,(2,3) known as Fc(gamma)RIIIa 158V/F and Fc(gamma)RIIa 131 H/R, were also found to be potential molecular markers for ADCC activation and improved clinical outcome of patients treated with single agent ERBITUX.
Pre-clinical data presented on ERBITUX, an IgG1 monoclonal antibody (MAb), included a study examining the IgG1 MAb-mediated anti-tumor effects known as ADCC (antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity), or the recruitment of the body's immune defenses to attack cancer cells.
