Mechanism of glycoform specificity and in vivo protection by an anti-afucosylated IgG nanobody

Abstract Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies contain a complex N-glycan embedded in the hydrophobic pocket between its heavy chain protomers. This glycan contributes to the structural organization of the Fc domain and determines its specificity for Fcγ receptors, thereby dictating distinct cellular re...
