Polymer modification of antibodies has attracted attention for enhancing antibody functionality. Modification with polyethylene glycol (PEG) or biopolymers such as antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates has been investigated. Although direct effects at the modification site have been understood, distal effects of modifications on intrinsic antibody functions such as antigen-binding and Fc receptor-binding activities remain poorly characterized. In this study, we prepared site-specifically PEGylated trastuzumab to evaluate the effects of the modification site and the size of PEG chains on antibody functions. Reporter gene assays revealed a significant reduction in antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity in a site- and size-dependent manner. Both the reduction in interaction with the antigen and Fc{gamma}RIIIa were observed in a size-dependent manner. Interestingly, the effect of the modification site was only observed for ADCC activity, which suggests that the higher-order structure of the modified antibody plays a critical role in effector function. These results provide molecular design guidelines for the polymer modification of antibodies.
