Additional mutations may also be combined with a mutation at position 180; including one or more of light chain (LC) S208, LC S171, LC S182, LC A184, LC V191, LC S202, LC S203, LC T206, heavy chain (HC) S160, HC T190, HC S443, HC S447, HC S139, HC S168, HC V170, HC V176, HC T200, HC S445 according to a positional numbering convention.
