背景(Background)
How a therapeutic antibody is metabolized in the body is pertinently relevant to its efficacy. Therefore, pharmacokinetics study is an important part of the drug development. HER-2 is probably the most targeted molecule in today’s pharmaceutical industry, thanking to the clinical success of Herceptin®. Many investigational anti-HER-2 mAbs are being developed. There is a growing need for a standard assay that can be used to facilitate the study of their pharmacokinetics.

原理(Assay Principles)
The enclosed ELISA assay kit for anti-HER-2 h-mAb in mouse serum is based on an enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) between recombinant HER-2 protein (ECD) and a biotinylated anti-HER-2 monoclonal antibody. The method employs the principle of competitive ELISA, allowing quantification of monoclonal anti-HER-2 antibodies in mouse serum.
The assay only involves the following steps:
1. Coat the plate with human HER-2;
2. Add the mixture of your sample and biotinylated anti-HER-2 antibody;
3. Add Streptavidin-HRP followed by TMB or other colorimetric HRP substrate;
4. Record the OD readings and analyze the serum concentration.
