Bio-Rad, HCA202, Adalimumab antibody | AbD18654

Human Anti-Adalimumab Antibody, clone AbD18654 , is a high affinity anti-idiotypic antibody that specifically recognizes the monoclonal antibody drug adalimumab and inhibits binding to its target, TNFα. The antibody can be used to measure the levels of adalimumab and biosimilar products in bioanalytical assays. Clone AbD18654 is recommended as a capture antibody in a pharmacokinetic (PK) bridging assay when used in combination with HRP-conjugated detection antibody ( HCA204P ). The assay will measure free drug, as both antibodies are inhibitory. Adalimumab (branded as Humira) is a fully human monoclonal antibody (IgG1/kappa) approved for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn’s disease, psoriasis and several forms of arthritis. The antibody is specific for TNFα, and acts by blocking the activation of TNF receptors by TNFα. This inactivation down-regulates the inflammatory reactions associated with autoimmune diseases.
