Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a novel class of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies comprising a homogeneous population of anti-CD20 IgG molecules having the same N-glycan on each of Fc. The antibodies of the invention can be produced from anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies by Fc glycoengineering. Importantly, the antibodies of the invention have improved therapeutic values with increased ADCC activity and increased Fc receptor binding affinity compared to the corresponding monoclonal antibodies that have not been glycoengineered.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a glycoengineered SARS-CoV-2 spike protein which is capable of eliciting an enhanced immune response relative to a native spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. The glycoengineered spike protein exposes the glycosylation sites and at the same time preserves the tertiary structure of the spike protein. The present disclosure therefore provides improved immunogens, vaccines, and methods for better prevention and treatment of the emerging coronavirus infections.
