Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides assays for detecting and measuring the presence or level of anti-TNFα drug therapeutics and autoantibodies in a sample. The present invention is useful for optimizing therapy and monitoring patients receiving anti-TNFα drug therapeutics to detect the presence or level of autoantibodies (e.g., HACA and/or HAHA) against the drug.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for determining the presence or level of an autoantibody to a therapeutic antibody for treating an autoimmune disease in a sample, the method comprising: (a) contacting a labeled therapeutic antibody with the sample to form a labeled complex with the autoantibody; (b) subjecting the labeled complex to size exclusion chromatography to separate the labeled complex from free labeled therapeutic antibody and to detect an amount of the labeled complex…
