Anti-D monoclonal antibodies from 23 human and rodent cell lines display diverse IgG Fc-glycosylation profiles that determine their clinical efficacy.

ABSTRACT: Anti-D immunoglobulin (Anti-D Ig) prophylaxis prevents haemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn. Monoclonal IgG anti-Ds (mAb-Ds) would enable unlimited supplies but have differed in efficacy in FcγRIIIa-mediated ADCC assays and clinical trials. Structural variations of the oligosaccharide chains of mAb-Ds are hypothesised to be responsible. Quantitative data on 12 Fc-glycosylation features of 23 mAb-Ds (12 clones, 5 produced from multiple cell lines) and one blood donor-derived anti-D Ig were obtained by HPLC and mass spectrometry using 3 methods. Glycosylation of mAb-Ds from human B-lymphoblastoid cell lines (B) was similar to anti-D Ig although fucosylation varied, affecting ADCC activity. In vivo, two B mAb-Ds with 77-81% fucosylation cleared red cells and prevented D-immunisation bu
