To date, however, there is limited information on the molecular parameters that govern fragment crystallizable (Fc) effector functions. In this study, using AI-assisted protein design, the influences of binding kinetics, epitope location, and stoichiometry of binding on cellular Fc effector functions were investigated using engineered HIV-1 envelope as a model antigen. For this antigen, stoichiometry of binding was found to be the primary molecular determinant of FcγRIIIa signaling, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis, while epitope location and antibodybinding kinetics, at least in the ranges investigated, were of no substantial impact. These findings are of importance for informing the development of vaccination strategies against HIV-1 and, possibly, other viral pathogens. |
