CERTOLIZUMAB PEGOL ELISA (MAB-BASED)

CERTOLIZUMAB PEGOL ELISA (MAB-BASED)

SKU: AB109

Enzyme immunoassay for the specific and quantitative determination of free Certolizumab Pegol (Cimzia®) in serum and plasma.

The solid phase (MTP) is coated by a highly specific monoclonal antibody directed against Certolizumab Pegol. Therefore any cross reactivity to the other therapeutical monoclonal antibodies is excluded.

  • ESSAY CHARACTERISTICS

    SPECIFICITY

    There is no cross reaction with any other proteins present in native human serum. A screening test was performed with 48 different native human sera at a dilution of 1:500. All produced OD450/620 nm values (ranged from 0.018 to 0.022) less than the mean OD (0.151) of the diluted standard D (6 ng/mL). In addition, binding of Certolizumab pegol is inhibited by recombinant human tumor necrosis factor alpha (rhTNFα) in a concentration dependent manner. Therefore, the ImmunoGuide Certolizumab pegol ELISA (mAb-based) measures the biologically active free form of Certolizumab pegol, i.e. not pre-occupied by TNFα. No cross reaction was observed with sera spiked with the other therapeutic antibodies including Infliximab, Etanercept, Adalimumab, Golimumab, Remsima, Tocilizumab, Trastuzumab and Rituximab tested at concentration of 100 µg/mL. All produced mean OD450/620 nm values less than 0.040.

     

    SENSITIVITY

    The lowest detectable concentration level in the well that can be clearly distinguished from the zero standard is 2 ng/mL (zero standa rd +2SD read from the curve) under the above-described conditions. Analytical sensitivity is 2 ng/mL, and corresponding to the detection limit (limit of quantification) of 1 µg/mL for undiluted clinical samples because the serum or plasma samples are instructed to be diluted at 1:500 before starting the assay.

     

    PRECISION

    Intra-assay CV: <10%.

    Inter-assay CV: <10%.

     

    RECOVERY

    Recovery rate was found to be >95% with native human serum and plasma samples when spiked with exogenous Certolizumab pegol at 100, 30, 10 and 3 μg/mL.

     

    AUTOMATION

    The ImmunoGuide Certolizumab pegol ELISA (mAb-based) is suitable also for being used by an automated ELISA processor.
