Description/comment

N297G mutation results in aglycosylated Fc. IgG assembled from half-antibodies (KiH). RG7828 (anti-CD20/CD3) is a full-length bisepcific antibody that targets CD20 on B cells and CD3 on T cells. It has a mode of action distinct from other CD20-directed antibody therapies, in that it is designed to recruit and activate cytotoxic T cells to kill malignant B cells. Described as "full-length, humanized immunoglobulin G1 molecule with near-native antibody architecture constructed using "knobs-into-holes" technology." in Sci Transl Med. 2015 May 13;7(287):287ra70. doi: 10.1126/scitranslmed.aaa4802
