Antibodies for bioanalysis and drug monitoring of belimumab and biosimilars

Develop highly selective and sensitive PK and ADA assays for the humanized antibody drug belimumab (Benlysta®) using our range of ready-made anti-idiotypic antibodies.

  • Highly specific to belimumab and the belimumab/BAFF complex
  • Inhibitory and non-inhibitory antibodies specific to belimumab
  • Fully human surrogate positive control or calibrator
  • Sequence defined, well characterized reagents with secure supply
  • Recombinant production, stringent quality control for batch-to-batch consistency
  • Non-animal-derived antibodies, reducing the use of animals in science

1 Fab-F-Spy2-H = Monovalent Fab antibody with (F) DYKDDDDK, (Spy2) SpyTag version 2, and (H) His-6-tags.
Fab2-FH-X22-HRP = Bivalent Fab antibody with (F) DYKDDDDK, (H) His-6-tags, and Fab-SpyTag coupled to HRP-conjugated BiCatcher.


Anti-Belimumab Inhibitory Antibodies (Type 1)

Type 1 anti-belimumab antibodies inhibit the binding of the drug belimumab to its target, B-cell activating factor (BAFF). They are ideal for development of a pharmacokinetic (PK) bridging ELISA to measure free drug. In fully human IgG1 format, they are suitable as a surrogate positive control or calibrator for an anti-drug antibody (ADA) assay.


Anti-Belimumab Non-Inhibitory Antibodies (Type 2)

The Type 2 anti-belimumab antibody binds to the belimumab idiotope but does not inhibit the binding of belimumab to BAFF. They are ideal for development of a PK bridging ELISA to measure total belimumab (free and BAFF-bound belimumab).
