a Fusion of lectin and antibody’s crystallizable fragment (Fc) of immunoglobulin G (IgG) produces a molecule called a “lectibody.” b Lectibodies can bind to surface glycoproteins via their lectins, neutralize viruses or cells infected by viruses, and help the innate and adaptive immune systems function against pathogens through functions including complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), and antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP)
