Service profile: Biocytogen has rich experience in preclinical pharmacokinetic testing and bioanalysis, and could provide professional pharmacokinetic analysis services based on antibody drugs. PK bioanalysis platform include ELISA and ECL.
Although it is quite different from traditional chemical drugs, antibody pharmacokinetic research is still based on classical pharmacokinetic research methods, but more attention is paid to its targeting and the pharmacokinetic characteristics affected by antibody characteristics. We have two kinds of experimental types include antibody serum/plasma concentration detection and anti-drug antibody (ADA) screening test.
ELISA
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL)
General Assay
The general assay is designed for the detection of hIgG antibody concentration.
Sandwich technique detection based on species specificity
Specific Assay
Detection according to drug target
Bispecific antibody detection
Strategy for ELISA-Alternate blood collection (For T1/2 of antibody is 5~10day)
Strategy for ECL-Microsampling(For T1/2 of antibody is 5~10day)
Data analysis
Study design for PK study
Comparison of sampling method
Comparison between sampling methods in detection results
The data show that there is no obvious difference between the experimental results of the two sampling methods.

HER2×TROP2 BsADC Showed Effective MMAE Accumulation in Tumors with a Great Stability in Circulation From a CDX Model
Pharmacokinetic analysis of HER2×TROP2 BsADC in NCI-H1975 xenograft model. After a single dose of 3 mg/kg of HER2×TROP2 BsADC , the payload MMAE was found to accumulate in the tumor but was present at low levels in the plasma. This suggests that HER2×TROP2 BsADC has reached an efficient tumor-targeted delivery of MMAE and may have better antitumor activity.
In the process of using biological products for treatment, some organisms will produce immune responses, the most significant of which is anti-drug antibodies (ADA). Immunogenicity is the ability of a special substance to cause immune responses. The formation of ADA-mAb immune complex is an additional clearance pathway for monoclonal antibodies, which has an important impact on the treatment and elimination of monoclonal antibodies in the body.
The commonly used ADA detection method uses the characteristics of the specific combination of ADA and drugs to detect the anti-drug antibody (essentially mouse anti-human IgG) produced in mice.
Study case—Detection of ADA in mouse serum
The SNR value (SNR= signal value of a single sample /pool series signal value) was calculated from the samples in the normal saline group and before administration. After excluding the abnormal value, the SNR of the remaining samples was used to calculate the screening threshold value of 1.24. The SNR values of all samples were compared with the screening threshold value, and those higher than the screening threshold value were recorded as positive "+" and those lower than the screening threshold value "-“. NA: unable to sample due to mouse death.
