Antibody-Mediated Targeting of Tau In Vivo Does Not Require Effector Function and Microglial Engagement.

چکیده
The spread of tau pathology correlates with cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease. In vitro, tau antibodies can block cell-to-cell tau spreading. Although mechanisms of anti-tau function in vivo are unknown, effector function might promote microglia-mediated clearance. In this study, we investigated whether antibody effector function is required for targeting tau. We compared efficacy in vivo and in vitro of two versions of the same tau antibody, with and without effector function, measuring tau pathology, neuron health, and microglial function. Both antibodies reduced accumulation of tau pathology in Tau-P301L transgenic mice and protected cultured neurons against extracellular tau-induced toxicity. Only the full-effector antibody enhanced tau uptake in cultured microglia, which promoted release of proinflammatory cytokines. In neuron-microglia co-cultures, only effectorless anti-tau protected neurons, suggesting full-effector tau antibodies can induce indirect toxicity via microglia. We conclude that effector function is not required for efficacy, and effectorless tau antibodies may represent a safer approach to targeting tau.

Antibodies are now recognized as key therapeutic tools to combat most forms of malignancy. Although the first wave of therapeutic antibodies that emerged over two decades ago directly target tumor cells for killing, a new class of antibody therapies targeting immunoregulatory pathways to boost antitumor immune responses by activating the immune system is poised for clinical success. A notable c...

متن کاملAnti-human CD40 monoclonal antibody therapy is potent without FcR crosslinking
Antibody agonists targeting tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily receptors, including CD40, are being tested therapeutically as anticancer agents. Studies in mice have shown that anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody (mAb) requires Fc-receptor (FcR) engagement to activate antitumor immunity. In contrast, we have reported that clinically active anti-human CD40 mAb CP-870,893 does not require FcR cros...
