Bio-Rad, HCA184G, Bevacizumab antibody | AbD16748_hIgG1

Human Anti-Bevacizumab Antibody, clone AbD16748_IgG1 is a paratope-specific, recombinant anti-idiotypic antibody that specifically recognizes the humanized monoclonal antibody drug bevacizumab and inhibits the binding of the drug to its target, vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). The antibody can be used to measure the levels of bevacizumab and biosimilars in serum from patients. A pair of anti-bevacizumab antibodies can be used to develop a pharmacokinetic (PK) bridging ELISA to measure free drug. This antibody is recommended as the detection antibody, paired with Anti-Bevacizumab Antibody in monovalent Fab format, clone AbD17976 ( HCA182 ) as the capture antibody. Bevacizumab (reference product branded as Avastin) is a humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG1/kappa) that inhibits angiogenesis by binding to VEGF-A. VEGF-A is a potent stimulator of angiogenesis of both normal and cancerous cells, and acts as a regulator of vasculogenesis. Bevacizumab is used to treat various cancers, including colorectal, lung, breast, glioblastoma, kidney and ovarian. View a summary of all Anti-Bevacizumab Antibodies.
