Published purpose

This Project has two objectives: 1. Acquiring an understanding of the Covid-19 viral translocation mechanism at the molecular level. More specifically, it will investigate if/how glycosylation of the viral spike protein and human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor modulates binding, and 2. How the glycan structure of the ADCC-attenuated Fc D270G mutant (Fc1X7) structure impacts interaction between Fcγ and FcRn receptors. The Fc1X7 is used as a fusion partner for COVID-19 therapeutic proteins and the information generated here will provide important information about enhancing their efficacy and safety.
