Product Description |
Trastuzumab, also known as Herceptin, is a
human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) inhibitor for the treatment of
breast cancer. Trastuzumab is a recombinant humanized IgG1 kappa monoclonal
antibody. It binds to the extracellular domain of the HER2 protein on the on
the surface of HER2-positive tumor cells with high affinity. Trastuzumab can
suppress the cells growth and proliferation by blocking the ability of the
cancer cells to receive chemical signals. Antibody drugs have the possibility to
generate anti-drug antibodies (ADAs), which may alter drug clearance and
neutralize target binding, causing reduction of drug efficacy. The
immunogenicity of antibody drugs may cause anaphylaxis, infusion reactions, and
immune complex disorders. Therefore, it is important to assess the presence and
impact of Trastuzumab ADAs on exposure, safety, and efficacy. GenScript Trastuzumab Immunogenicity Kit (Bridging ELISA) is designed
for detection of anti-Trastuzumab antibody in serum and plasma samples. This
kit utilizes a validated bridging immunoassay method based on the FDA, EMA and NMPA
Immunogenicity Guidelines. Through rigorous validation studies, the kit has
been demonstrated high sensitivity, specificity, and is free from matrix
effects. It is an ideal tool for the analysis of ADA against Trastuzumab. |

Assay Principle |
The GenScript Trastuzumab
Immunogenicity ELISA Kit is a bridging immunoassay that utilizes a microplate coated with the Trastuzumab.
When standards or samples are added to the capture plate, anti-Trastuzumab
antibodies can be captured on the plate. The biotin-conjugated Trastuzumab is
then added to interact with the anti-Trastuzumab antibodies bound on the plate.
After a washing step, horseradish peroxidase conjugated streptavidin
(Streptavidin-HRP) is added and to react with the
3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine solution (TMB Solution) to develop a blue
product in the solution. The reaction is stopped by adding stop solution, which
turns the color yellow and the absorbance can be read at 450 nm by a microplate
reader. The intensity of the reaction color is directly proportional to the
concentration of antibodies to Trastuzumab in samples. |
