ABSTRACT
The binding of functional groups to antibodies is crucial for disease treatment, diagnosis, and basic scientific research. Traditionally, antibody modifications have focused on the Fc region to maintain antigen-antibody binding activity. However, such modifications may impact critical antibody functions, including immune cell surface receptor activation, cytokine release, and other immune responses. In recent years, modifications targeting the antigen-binding fragment (Fab) region have garnered increasing attention. Precise modifications of the Fab region not only maximize the retention of antigen-antibody binding capacity but also enhance numerous physicochemical properties of antibodies. This paper reviews the chemical, biological, biochemical, and computer-assisted methods for modifying the Fab region of antibodies, discussing their advantages, limitations, recent advances, and future trends.
