This technology relates to an antibody that specifically binds to human Fc alpha receptors and its immunologically active fragments. It is a technology that maximizes the mechanism of action of various antibody therapeutics by maintaining an IgG format and binding to Fc alpha receptors on effector cells.
Conventional IgA antibodies had limitations in utilizing effector functions, making it difficult to fully elicit the cell-killing effects (ADCC/ADCP) of antibody therapeutics.
This technology is designed to bind to Fc alpha receptors on neutrophils, which constitute the highest proportion in mammals, thereby overcoming the drawbacks of conventional IgA. It enhances antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and phagocytosis and can be widely applied as various Fc-fusion protein therapeutics.
