Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is one of the main mechanisms of
action for many therapeutic antibodies. Classic ADCC assays measure antibody-dependent
target cell cytotoxicity induced by primary effector cells that are isolated from human blood.
They suffer from high assay variability due to the genetic and immune-status-mediated
variation from blood donors. Here we report the development of a robust reporter-based
ADCC assay that uses an engineered Jurkat stable cell line as the source of effector cells …
