Re: ADCC

Just wanted to point for those that are not aware, ADCC stands for Antibody-Dependent Cell-mediated Cytotoxicity. GTCB refered to it, somewhat casually, as Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity, which could be a bit misleading. The antibodies themselves are not cytotoxic -- rather, they attract immune cells to target and destroy the cells that they bind to.
