Abstract
The effector activity of IgG antibodies is regulated at several levels, including IgG subclass, modifications of the Fc glycan, and the distribution of Type I and II Fcγ receptors (FcγR) on effector cells. Here, we explore how Fc glycosylation, particularly sialylation and fucosylation, tunes cellular responses to immune complexes. We review the current understanding of the pathways and mechanisms underlying this biology, address FcγR in antigen presentation, and discuss aspects of the clinical understanding of Fc glycans in therapies and disease.
