The role of inter-heavy and light chain disulfide bonds in the effector functions of human IgG1 was investigated. This was accomplished by mutating appropriate sites in IgG1 such that the disulfide bond pattern now resembled that of IgG4. The effector functions of the mutant antibody were then compared to native IgG1 and IgG4. The antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity activity was completely abolished in the mutant and the complement-dependent cytotoxicity assay was reduced fifteen-fold. The results suggest that the inter-heavy and light chain disulfide bond pattern of an antibody molecule play a role in its effector functions.

D007147 Immunoglobulin Light Chains Polypeptide chains, consisting of 211 to 217 amino acid residues and having a molecular weight of approximately 22 kDa. There are two major types of light chains, kappa and lambda. Two Ig light chains and two Ig heavy chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) make one immunoglobulin molecule.

D000920 Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity The phenomenon of antibody-mediated target cell destruction by non-sensitized effector cells. The identity of the target cell varies, but it must possess surface IMMUNOGLOBULIN G whose Fc portion is intact. The effector cell is a "killer" cell possessing Fc receptors. It may be a lymphocyte lacking conventional B- or T-cell markers, or a monocyte, macrophage, or polynuclear leukocyte, depending on the identity of the target cell. The reaction is complement-independent.
