Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies are established treatment options in cancer therapy. However, not all patients benefit from antibody therapy. Basic research and findings from clinical trials revealed that certain Fc-mediated effector mechanisms triggered by monoclonal antibodies are essential for efficient antitumor activity. Today, next-generation monoclonal antibodies can be designed displaying tailor-made improved effector functions. The introduction of Fc-engineering technologies offers the potential to fine-tune Fc-mediated effector functions such as antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), phagocytosis, or complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Fc-engineered antibodies hopefully will overcome some limitations of current forms of antibody therapy.
