Antibody mechanisms of action. The cartoon depicts that potential contribution of Fab versus Fc mediated antibody functions at different antibody titers. Where neutralization alone may be sufficient to block transmission at peak titers (left). However, as titers wane, or variants evade large fractions of antibodies, the ability of antibodies to leverage immune effector functions may be vital to protection from disease
