Bio-Rad, HCA390, Aflibercept antibody | AbD38778da

Human Anti-Aflibercept Antibody, clone AbD38778da is a recombinant antibody that specifically recognizes the fusion protein drug aflibercept as well as the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR1). It does not recognize vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2). It does not inhibit the binding of aflibercept to its target, the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF); it binds to both free aflibercept and aflibercept bound to its target VEGF and can be used to measure levels of aflibercept and its biosimilars in bioanalytical assays. A pair of anti-aflibercept antibodies can be used to develop a pharmacokinetic (PK) bridging assay to measure free drug. This antibody, in monovalent Fab format, is recommended as the capture antibody, paired with the Human Anti-Aflibercept Antibody, clone AbD34644ia ( HCA386 ) as the detection antibody. Aflibercept (Eylea, Zaltrap) is a recombinant fusion protein consisting of the extra-cellular domain of human VEGF receptors 1 and 2, fused to the Fc portion of human IgG1. It is used to treat the 'wet' form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and impaired vision due to macular oedema. It is also used in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer in combination with 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and irinotecan in patients previously treated with an oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy. Aflibercept binds to circulating VEGF-A and VEGF-B to inhibit their ability to promote angiogenesis. View a summary of all anti aflibercept antibodies

Storage Information
This product is shipped at ambient temperature. It is recommended to aliquot and store at -20°C on receipt. When thawed, aliquot the sample as needed. Keep aliquots at 2-8°C for short term use (up to 4 weeks) and store the remaining aliquots at -20°C.
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
