In the ever changing biotherapeutics landscape, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) success hinges on more than simply antigen recognition. While the Fab region controls ...
Deleting a single amino acid (Pro230) in the lower hinge produced half-IgG1 molecules with disrupted disulfide bonds and reoriented Fab and Fc regions, highlighting the hinge’s essential role in ...
