4 . An antibody or immunoadhesin according to claim 3 said antibody or immunoadhesin further comprises an amino acid substitution at a position selected from the group consisting of 239 and 332.

5 . An antibody or immunoadhesin according to claim 1 wherein said antibody or immunoadhesin increases binding affinity to an FcγR as compared to said parent polypeptide, wherein numbering is according to the EU index.

6 . An antibody or immunoadhesin according to claim 5 wherein said FcγR is FcγRIIIa.

7 . An antibody or immunoadhesin according to claim 6 wherein said FcγRIIIa is a V158 or F158 allotype of FcγRIIa.

8 . An antibody or immunoadhesin according to claim 1 wherein said antibody or immunoadhesin is an antibody.

9 . An antibody according to claim 8 wherein said antibody is selected from the group consisting of a human antibody, a humanized antibody, a monoclonal antibody and an antibody fragment.

10 . An antibody or immunoadhesin according to claim 1 wherein said antibody or immunoadhesin further comprises an engineered glycoform.

11 . An antibody or immunoadhesin according to claim 1 wherein said antibody or immunoadhesin has specificity for a target antigen selected from the group consisting of CD19, CD20, CD22, CD30, CD33, CD40, CD40L, CD52, Her2/neu, EGFR, EpCAM, MUC1, GD3, CEA, CA 125, HLA-DR, TNFalpha, MUC18, prostate specific membrane antigen (PMSA) and VEGF.
