Therapeutic Drug Monitoring ELISA Assay

Infliximab ELISA mAb-based Assay

$1,485.00

The Infliximab ELISA mAb-based Assay is an enzyme immunoassay for the specific and precise measurement of free Infliximab in serum and plasma samples. This assay utilizes the specific monoclonal antibodies as the coating material on the microtiter plate so this assay specifically measures only Infliximab and no other TNF-α therapeutic.  The Eagle Biosciences Infliximab (mAb-based) ELISA Assay Kit is for research use only and not to be used in diagnostic procedures.

Assay Background

The drug Infliximab (trade names Remicade®, Remsima®, and Inflectra®) is a chimeric monoclonal antibody and used to treat auto-immune disorders. Infliximab reduces the amount of active human tumor necrosis factor alpha (hTNF-α) in the patient by binding to it and preventing it from signaling the receptors for TNF-α on the surface of various cell types. TNF-α is one of the key cytokines that triggers and sustains the inflammatory reactions. Infliximab is used for the treatment of psoriasis, Crohn’s disease, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis.

The specificity of this test system is achieved by using a monoclonal antibody named “Peri-1 mAb” for the coating of the microtiter plate. This antibody is specific for Infliximab only (regardless whether Remicade®, Remsima®, or Inflectra®) and does not cross react with other TNF-α catchers.

In this context, identification of biomarkers for (non-)response and risk factors for adverse drug reactions relating to serum concentrations and therapeutic drug monitoring of Infliximab would be very helpful.

STORAGE AND STABILITY for Infliximab Assay
The kit is shipped at ambient temperature and should be stored at 2-8°C. Keep away from heat or direct sun light. The microtiter strips are stable up to the expiry date of the kit in the broken, but tightly closed bag when stored at 2–8°C.

Assay Principle

This Eagle Biosciences ELISA Assay Kit is based on Infliximab-specific mouse monoclonal antibody (catcher Ab, ImmunoGuide clone Peri-1). Diluted standards and samples are incubated in the microtiter plate coated with IG-Peri-1 mAb. After incubation, the wells are washed. A horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-human IgG monoclonal antibody is added and binds to the Fc part of Infliximab. Following incubation, wells are washed and the bound enzymatic activity is detected by addition of chromogen-substrate. The color developed is proportional to the amount of Infliximab in the sample or standard. Results of samples can be determined by using the standard curve. Binding of Infliximab to the solid phase, pre-coated with Peri-1, is inhibited by recombinant human TNF-α or Antibody to Infliximab (ATI) in a concentration dependent manner. Therefore, the ImmunoGuide Infliximab ELISA (mAb-based) measures the free form of Infliximab.

Assay Procedure

  1. Pipette 100 µL of Assay Buffer into each of the wells to be used.
  2. Pipette 50 µL of each 1:10 Diluted Standard, and 1:100 Diluted Samples into the respective wells of the microtiter plate.
  3. Cover the plate with adhesive seal. Shake plate carefully. Incubate 60 min at room temperature (RT, 20-25°C).
  4. Remove adhesive seal. Aspirate or decant the incubation solution. Wash the plate 3 X 300 μL of Diluted Wash Buffer per well. Remove excess solution by tapping the inverted plate on a paper towel.
  5. Pipette 100 μL of Enzyme Conjugate (HRP-anti human IgG mAb) into each well.
  6. Cover plate with adhesive seal. Shake plate carefully. Incubate 30 min at RT.
  7. Remove adhesive seal. Aspirate or decant the incubation solution. Wash the plate 3 X 300 μL of Diluted Wash Buffer per well. Remove excess solution by tapping the inverted plate on a paper towel.
  8. Pipette 100 µL of Ready-to-Use TMB Substrate Solution into each well.
  9. Incubate 10 min at RT. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
  10. Stop the substrate reaction by adding 100 µL of Stop Solution into each well. Briefly mix contents by gently shaking the plate. Color changes from blue to yellow.
  11. Measure optical density (OD) with a photometer at 450 nm (Reference at OD620 nm is optional) within 15 min after pipetting the Stop Solution.
