The structure of the Fc fragment of monoclonal antibody IgG2b from hybridom M75 of Mus musculus has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. This is the first report of the structure of the murine immunoglobulin isotype IgG2b. The structure refined at 2.1 A resolution provides more detailed structural information about native oligosaccharides than was previously available. High-quality Fourier maps provide a clear identification of alpha-l-fucose with partial occupancy in the first branch of the antennary oligosaccharides. A unique Fc:Fc interaction was observed at the C(H)2-C(H)3 interface.
