Cytotoxic mechanisms of immunotherapy: Harnessing complement in the action of anti-tumor monoclonal antibodies

Highlights • Complement is activated in vivo when CD20 mAbs RTX or OFA are infused in CLL patients. • The detailed cellular events that occur in vitro during mAb-mediated CDC have been elucidated for CD20 mAbs. • New and innovative approaches should allow for development of far more effective comple...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Complement is activated in vivo when CD20 mAbs RTX or OFA are infused in CLL patients. • The detailed cellular events that occur in vitro during mAb-mediated CDC have been elucidated for CD20 mAbs. • New and innovative approaches should allow for development of far more effective complement-fixing mAbs for cancer immunotherapy.
