However, many studies have also highlighted the contribution of Fc-mediated immune effector functions in modulating the efficacy of these mAbs [5] . FcgRs have been shown to be important in modulating the efficacy of therapeutic mAbs [5] due to their involvement in FcgRmediated phagocytosis, cytokine production, ADCC and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) that aids in virus neutralization (FIGURE 1). Given the importance of FcgRs in mediating virus neutralization and Fc effector functions, a better understanding of how therapeutic antibodies neutralize virus infections in FcgRbearing cells will impact implementation of dosing regiments and allow development of improved therapeutic antibodies against infectious diseases. Given the importance of Fc-FcgR interaction in antibodymediated effector functions, Fc modification could lead to the development of therapeutic antibodies with improved interaction to activating FcgRs. This could enhance FcgR-mediated uptake, cytokine production, antigen presentation, ADCC and CDC.	./cache/cord-329857-pcsuu597.txt	./txt/cord-329857-pcsuu597.txt
