Metuzumab Fab-specific mouse monoclonal antibodies and monkey polyclonal antisera were generated as the internal standard and positive controls for ADA.
A very sensitive Bridging ELISA assay was developed to detect the Metuzumab ADA in the Cynomolgus monkey sera.
At 1:100 dilution, the highest positive rates (6 out of 8 monkeys) of free ADA were seen in the High-dose group 2-weeks but no significant pathologic and clinic adversary effect was observed in those monkeys.
