Method of modulating the activity of functional immune molecules to GM2
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a method for controlling the activity of an immunologically functional molecule, such as an antibody, a protein, a peptide or the like, an agent of promoting the activity of an immunologically functional molecule, and an immunologically functional molecule having the promoted activity.
1. An antibody composition comprising antibody molecules, wherein 100% of the antibody molecules comprising a Fc region comprising complex N-glycoside-linked sugar chains bound to the Fc region through N-acetylglucosamines of the reducing terminal of the sugar chains do not contain sugar chains with a fucose bound to the N-acetylglucosamines, wherein said antibody molecules binds to ganglioside GM2.
2. The antibody composition according to claim 1 , wherein the antibody molecules are molecules selected from the group consisting of (a), (b) and (c);
(a) human antibodies;
(b) humanized antibodies;
(c) antibody fragments.
3. The antibody composition according to claim 1 , wherein said antibody molecules belongs to an IgG class.
