    Characterization of IgG1 Fc Deamidation at Asparagine 325 and Its Impact on Antibody-dependent Cell-mediated Cytotoxicity and FcγRIIIa Binding

    Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is an important mechanism of action for many therapeutic antibodies. A therapeutic immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 monoclonal antibody lost more than half of its ADCC a...

    Strategies to Determine Assay Format for the Assessment of Neutralizing Antibody Responses to Biotherapeutics

    Most biotherapeutics can elicit immune responses in dosed recipients generating anti-drug antibodies (ADAs). Neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) are a subpopulation of ADAs that can potentially impact patient safet...

    Telomerase expression in human somatic cells does not induce changes associated with a transformed phenotype

    Expression of the human telomerase catalytic component, hTERT, in normal human somatic cells can reconstitute telomerase activity and extend their replicative lifespan1,2. We report here that at twice the normal ...

    Effect of low oxygen and high carbon dioxide on the levels of ethylene and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid in ripening apple fruits

    The association of the level of ACC and the ethylene concentration in ripening apple fruit (Malus sylvestris Mill, var. Ben Davis) was studied. Preclimacteric apple contained small amounts of ACC and ethylene. Wi...
