Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) is promoted through interaction between the Fc region of immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) and Fcγ receptor IIIa (FcγRIIIa), depending on N -glycosylation of these glycoproteins. In particular, core fucosylation of IgG1-Fc N -glycans negatively affects this int...
