Benefits of technology

This patent describes a way to detect the active form of a therapeutic antibody using a sandwich assay format. The method involves using an antibody that specifically binds to the therapeutic antibody but doesn't bind to the antibody of the experimental animal. A second antibody is used that binds to the antigen, allowing for easy detection. The method can also be used to determine the ratio of active to total therapeutic antibody, which can serve as an indicator of efficacy. Additionally, the method can be used to determine if there is any epitope overlap between two different antibodies.

Problems solved by technology

The detection of a human or humanized antibody becomes more and more difficult the closer the test animal is related to H. sapiens.

Preparation of the F(ab′)2 Fragment of Human IgG (Immunogen)

[0128]The full length human antibody of the class G (human IgG) in 100 mM sodium citrate buffer, pH 3.7 was incubated with pepsin (1 μg pepsin per mg IgG). The fragmentation was analyzed by analytical gel filtration and stopped after 90 minutes by adjusting the pH value to 6.5 by the addition of potassium phosphate. After dialysis of the mixture against 10 mM sodium citrate buffer with 10 mM sodium chloride, pH 5.5, the solution was applied to an SP-sepharose chromatography column and the isolated fractions eluted in a salt gradient were analyzed individually by analytical gel filtration. The pool containing the antibody F(ab′)2 fragments were applied to an affinity matrix with immobilized polyclonal antibodies against human Fcγ to eliminate trace amounts of Fcγ fragments. The flow through was pooled, concentrated to about 16 mg / ml and finally applied to a gel filtration column (Superdex 200).

Generation of Monoclonal Anti-Human IgG Antibodies

a) Immunization of Mice

[0129]Female NMRI mice, 8-12 weeks of age, were each primarily immunized intraperitoneally with 100 μg of the antibody F(ab′)2 fragments prepared according to Example 1 mixed with CFA (Complete Freund's Adjuvant). Two further intraperitoneal immunization steps followed after 6 and 10 weeks, each with 100 μg of the antibody F(ab′)2 fragments per mouse mixed with IFA (Incomplete Freund's adjuvant). Subsequently, intravenous boost immunizations were done, each with 50 μg of antibody F(ab′)2 fragments in PBS (phosphate buffered saline) three days before the fusion.

b) Fusion and Cloning

[0130]Spleen cells of the mice immunized according to a) were fused with myeloma cells according to Galfré and Milstein (Galfré, G. and Milstein, C, Methods Enzymol. 73 (1981) 3-46). Approximately 2.1×108 splenocytes were mixed with 4.2×107 myeloma cells (P3x63-Ag8.653, ATCC CRL1580) and centrifuged (10 min. at 300×g and 4° C.). The c...
