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