Clinical Immunoassays to Determine Concentration of Monoclonal Antibodies
Generalizable to any monoclonal antibody or other recombinant protein biologic therapy Easier than current methods Developed two specific assays, one for rituximab and one for alemtuzumab Phage displayed peptide libraries used to select peptide sequences recognized by the specific monoclonal antibody Synthetic biotinylated peptides produced based on these sequences High sensitivity of bead based assay (less then 0.1 µg/ml) with extremely low background ELISA protocol on streptavidin - coated plates sufficient for higher antibody concentrations (>1.0 µg/ml)
There are over 100 monoclonal antibodies developed for current therapies. The peptide-based assays are ideal for the development of validated clinical assays and monoclonal antibodies pharmacokinetics analyses.
This technology is a general method to develop assays to detect the circulating concentration of monoclonal antibodies in patients that have received them as treatment for cancer or other diseases. The method is applicable to any monoclonal antibody or other recombinant protein biologic therapy. In addition, two specific assays, one for rituximab and one for alemtuzumab, have been developed. Synthetic biotinylated peptides have been produced based on the sequence derived from phage displayed peptide libraries. UCSD researchers have then developed an optimized ELISA protocol, and a complementary bead based immunoassay. The enhanced sensitivity of the bead based assay is ideal for detecting very low levels of the targeted antibody, while conventional ELISA is sufficient when the targeted antibody is expected to be higher.

Title: Methods for Detecting Antibodies
Usefulness: Methods for Detecting Antibodies
Summary: The method is useful for detecting an antibody not complexed to antigen in a biological sample suspected of containing such antibody (claimed).
Novelty: Detecting an antibody not complexed to antigen in a biological sample, comprises synthesizing peptides with a mimetope, contacting the peptide with the biological sample, and allowing binding of the peptides with the antibody
