  • Aggregation of therapeutic antibodies, specifically under mild temperature stress, significantly influences the immune response by enhancing the activation of CD4 T-cells compared to native antibodies.
  • Large insoluble aggregates of infliximab (IFX) have been shown to recruit more CD4 T-cells and present a broader range of epitopes than the native form.
  • The study reveals that the size and quantity of antibody aggregates produced under mild conditions can modulate monocyte-derived dendritic cell activation and T-cell responses, indicating a dose-dependent relationship.
