Product Type
Fc Silent Antibody
Description
The antibody Fc domain is responsible for the function in the antibody, while the Fab domain is responsible for targeting. Therefore, Fc engineering represents the engineering function of antibodies, which are effector functions, such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and control the serum half-life. Therefore, Fc engineering for immune silencing or further protein engineering is essential for immune cell binding to antibodies.
The Fc-silenced antibody provided by Creative Biolabs contains key point mutations that eliminate the binding of Fc receptors (FcγR, FcR), thereby eliminating the cytotoxic (ADCC) effector function of the antibody.

Official Name
CTLA-4
Full Name
cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4
Background
This gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and encodes a protein which transmits an inhibitory signal to T cells. The protein contains a V domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. The membrane-bound isoform functions as a homodimer interconnected by a disulfide bond, while the soluble isoform functions as a monomer. Mutations in this gene have been associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, Graves disease, Hashimoto thyroiditis, celiac disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, thyroid-associated orbitopathy, and other autoimmune diseases.
