IgG Subclass and Heavy Chain Domains Contribute to Binding and Protection by mAbs to the Poly γ-D-glutamic Acid Capsular Antigen of Bacillus anthracis

Bacterial capsules are common targets for antibody-mediated immunity. The capsule of Bacillus anthracis is unusual among capsules because it is composed of a polymer of poly-γ-d-glutamic acid (γdPGA). We previously generated murine IgG3 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to γdPGA that were protective in a...
