Fc Silent™ Technology

Our Fc Silent antibodies™ have a genetically engineered Fc domain with key point mutations that abrogate binding of Fc receptors and abolish ADCC effector function. Below are several articles illustrating the use of Fc Silent™ technology to exploit antibody binding activity while excluding Fc-dependent effector function.
