This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), aims to investigate factors that enhance the protective capacity of antibodies through Fc-mediated immune responses. The $416,276 award to the University of Georgia Research Foundation will fund research to quantify how factors like epitope location, antibody glycosylation, and oligomerization affect the potency of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP), and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) responses in vitro. The researchers will then evaluate optimal combinations of these factors for improved protection against influenza virus and Streptococcus pneumoniae infections in mouse models. Additionally, the project will examine how natural killer cell factors, including N-glycan composition and FcγRIIIA affinity, impact ADCC and influenza protection in mice. The goal is to define the interactions between these factors and determine conditions to enhance protection from both neutralizing and non-neutralizing antibodies against pathogens.
