Type 1 anti-tocilizumab antibodies inhibit the binding of the drug tocilizumab to its target, human interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R). They are ideal for development of a pharmacokinetic (PK) bridging ELISA to measure free drug. In fully human IgG1 format they are available in high, medium and lower affinity, and are suitable as a surrogate positive control or calibrator for an anti-drug antibody (ADA) assay.
The type 2 anti-tocilizumab antibody binds to the tocilizumab idiotope, but does not inhibit the binding of tocilizumab to IL-6R. It can therefore be used in combination with a type 1 antibody in a PK bridging ELISA to measure free and partially bound drug, which is equivalent to total drug when trough serum levels are above 10 µg/ml.
