- Target
- None
- Molecular classification
- Immune process, Cell-mediated cytotoxicity
01
Overview
Immunostimulant activity refers to the enhancement of the immune system, particularly through antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC). ADCC is a mechanism where antibodies bound to target cells (e.g., infected or tumor cells) are recognized by effector immune cells like NK cells, leading to target cell lysis. This process is crucial in controlling infections and eliminating malignant cells, and is often harnessed by therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. The effectiveness depends on sufficient engagement between antibody Fc regions and FcγRs on effector immune cells.
