Monoclonal hapten-specific mouse IgG2b antibodies depleted of asparagine-linked carbohydrate chains were prepared by treating the hybridoma cells with tunicamycin. The carbohydrate-deficient antibodies behaved in an identical manner to the normal antibodies with regard to fine antigen-binding reactivity (a Fab fragment feature) and protein A binding capacity [a feature requiring integrity at the CH2 and CH3 domain-interation regions in the constant region of the H chain (CH)]. They lost the ability to activate complement, to bind to Fc receptors on macrophages, and to induce antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Antigen-antibody complexes produced from such carbohydrate-deficient antibodies failed to be eliminated rapidly from the circulation. Removal of carbohydrate chains from IgG molecules may have a profound and highly select impact on the biological activity to these antibodies.
