Antibody drugs have been widely used to treat many diseases and are the fastest-growing drug class. IgG1 is the most common type of antibody because of its good serum stability; however, effective methods for the rapid detection of IgG1-type antibodies are lacking. In this study, we designed two aptamer molecules derived from the reported aptamer probe that has been proven to bind to the Fc fragment of the IgG1 antibody. The results showed that Fc-1S could specifically bind to the human IgG1 Fc proteins. In addition, we modified the structure of Fc-1S and constructed three aptamer molecular beacons that could quantitatively detect IgG1-type antibodies within a short time. Furthermore, we unveiled that the Fc-1S37R beacon has the highest sensitivity for IgG1-type antibodies with a detection limit of 48.82813 ng/mL and can accurately detect serum antibody concentrations in vivo with consistent results to ELISA. Therefore, Fc-1S37R is an efficient method for the production monitoring and quality control of IgG1-type antibodies to enable the large-scale production and application of antibody drugs.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a critical angiogenesis biomarker associated with various pathological conditions, including cancer. This study leverages pre-biotinylated FcγRI interactions with IgG1-type monoclonal antibodies to develop a sensitive VEGF detection method. Utilizing surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology, we characterized the binding dynamics of immobilized biotinylated FcγRI to an IgG1-type antibody, Bevacizumab (AVT), through kinetic studies and investigated suitable conditions for sensor surface regeneration.

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune disorder characterized by organ enlargement and fibrosis leading to functional impairment. Key immune cell subsets contributing to the pathogenesis of IgG4-RD include T follicular helper 2 cells (Tfh2), Tfh1, CX3CR1 + cytotoxic T cells (CX3CR1 + CTLs), Tregs and IgG4 + B cells. Tfh2 and Tregs are commonly involved in inducing IgG4 class-switching in this disease.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are active components of therapeutic formulations that interact with the water-vapor interface during manufacturing, storage, and administration. Surface adsorption has been demonstrated to mediate antibody aggregation, which leads to a loss of therapeutic efficacy. Controlling mAb adsorption at interfaces requires a deep understanding of the microscopic processes that lead to adsorption and identification of the protein regions that drive mAb surface activity.

Chagas disease (ChD), caused by , is the most serious parasitosis in the western hemisphere. Benznidazole and nifurtimox, the only two trypanocidal drugs, are expensive, difficult to obtain, and have severe side effects. Nitazoxanide has shown to be effective against protozoa, bacteria, and viruses.

Subsets of tumor-produced cell surface and secreted proteins can bind to IgG1 type antibodies and suppress their immune-effector activities. As they affect antibody and complement-mediated immunity, we call these proteins humoral immuno-oncology (HIO) factors. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) use antibody targeting to bind cell surface antigens, internalize into the cell, then kill target cells upon liberation of the cytotoxic payload.
