The extended IgG3 hinge results in increased neutralization potency in CAP88-CH06 antibodies. (a) CAP88-CH06 IgG3 (green) and IgA1 (purple) and IgG1 (blue) mAbs when tested for neutralization against 12 CAP88 autologous viruses in a pseudotyped virus neutralization assay. (b) Alignment of the CAP88-CH06 mAb hinge regions performed using Aliview v1.20. Red denotes amino acids that differ between hinge sequences mAbs and dashes represent gaps. (c) Antibody hinge chimeras were tested for neutralization against 12 CAP88 autologous viruses. All experiments were performed in duplicate with at least two replicates. Neutralization potency is shown as IC50 values in μg/ml with neutralization resistance being defined as > 10 μg/ml. GMT geometric mean titre. Fold changes are shown in red (if greater than threefold different) or black (if less than threefold different). Statistical significance was calculated using the Friedman test with Dunns correction for multiple comparisons. Significance is shown as: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 and ****p < 0.0001. Antibody schematics were created in Biorender (http://www.biorender.com).
