Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to the field glycosylation engineering of proteins. More particular, the present invention is directed to the glycosylation engineering of proteins to provide proteins with improved therapeutic properties, e.g., antibodies, antibody fragments, or a fusion protein that includes a region equivalent to the Fc region of an immunoglobulin, with enhanced Fc-mediated cellular cytotoxicity.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for treating B-cell lymphoma in a mammal comprising administering to said mammal a therapeutically effective amount of a glycoengineered IgG antibody to CD20, wherein said glycoengineered antibody is obtained from a host cell that has been genetically manipulated to have altered activity of at least one glycoprotein-modifying glycosyltransferase, wherein said antibody has an altered pattern of N-linked oligosaccharides in the Fc region compared to th…
