Custom development of ADA antibodies

Custom development of ADA antibodies

Immunogenicity of a drug refers to its ability, and/or that of its metabolites, to induce an immune response or immune-related event against itself or related proteins. With the increasing research and development of new drugs, especially therapeutic protein drugs, in China, research related to immunogenicity is becoming increasingly widespread.


Background

Immunogenicity of drugs refers to the ability of a drug and/or its metabolites to induce an immune response or immune-related events against itself or related proteins. With the increasing number of new drugs, especially therapeutic protein drugs, in China, research on immunogenicity is becoming increasingly widespread.

According to the latest guidelines issued by the FDA, the assessment of drug immunogenicity is a holistic risk-based study, usually running throughout the entire process of biotechnological drug development until post-market. Therefore, the study of drug immunogenicity needs to be continuously carried out in the preclinical and clinical research stages, and is an important part of preclinical and clinical development. Drug immunogenicity can induce the body to produce anti-drug antibodies (ADA) and/or neutralizing antibodies (NAb). Based on its existing hybridoma platform, Creek Bio can quickly and efficiently customize and develop ADA detection-related positive control antibodies for customers.

Delivery Standard

Immunological and Serum Titer Detection  
• Pre-immunization blood collection
• Immunize 2-3 groups of Balb/c mice
• Serum titer detection
 

Final animal blood collection

Pre-immunization blood collection

Day 1

  • Interim report (including antiserum titer detection results >1:30000)
  • Delivery of remaining antigen

First immunization (antigen plus Freund's complete adjuvant)

Day 1
 

Second immunization (antigen plus Freund's incomplete adjuvant)

Day 14

Third immunization (antigen plus Freund's incomplete adjuvant)

Day 28

Blood collection and ELISA detection

Day 35

Fourth immunization (antigen plus Freund's incomplete adjuvant)

Day 42

Blood collection and ELISA detection

Day 49

Boost immunization (antigen dissolved in PBS or saline)

3 days before fusion

Cell fusion and screening  
• Cell fusion
• Fusion screening
• Subcloning and cell expansion
• Cell line cryopreservation

Cell fusion and screening

2-3 weeks

  • 1-2 pairs of matchable positive cell lines (2 cryovials per cell line)
  • Interim report (including screening data)

Subcloning and cell expansion

3-4 weeks

Cell line cryopreservation

1 week

Specificity screening:

• ELISA screening for strongly positive Fab or F(ab’)2 clones that do not react or react weakly with isotype control IgG1;

• Competitive ELISA screening for clones with neutralizing activity.

Antibody production and purification  
• Culture of 2 monoclonal hybridoma cell lines
• Protein A/G purification of antibodies
• ELISA detection
• Purity detection
Hybridoma cell culture 2 weeks
  • 2 monoclonal antibodies, 1-3mg each, titer >20,000
  • Final experimental report
Antibody purification 1 week
ELISA detection, SDS-PAGE detection, concentration detection 1-2 weeks

Remarks:

1. At each node (antiserum, fusion screening, subclone screening, antibody purification), screening is performed using hIgG1 to remove cross-reactivity;

2. Antibody delivery standard:

(1) 1-2 strains of monoclonal hybridoma cell lines secreting anti-ADA (One pair may contain one neutralizing antibody and one non-neutralizing antibody)

(2) Purity >95% (SDS-PAGE); antibody concentration >0.5mg/ml; purified antibody indirect ELISA titer >20,000-fold dilution; cross-reactivity with hIgG1 control antibody <2%;

(3) COA document.
