Human Anti-ErbB2 antibody, clone 4D5-8 is a research grade biosimilar of the monoclonal antibody drug trastuzumab. This product is supplied in a research grade format, i.e. in PBS buffer with preservative, it is not manufactured or formulated in the same way as the therapeutic reference product. A preservative free version is available on request. This product is a recombinant human IgG1 kappa antibody with variable regions from the therapeutic trastuzumab antibody clone 4D5-8. Human Anti-ErbB2 antibody, clone 4D5-8 is for research use only. It is suitable as a reference standard in a pharmacokinetic (PK) bridging ELISA with anti-trastuzumab antibodies, for example HCA168 and HCA167. It can also be used as capture and detection reagent in an anti-drug antibody (ADA) bridging ELISA, with an anti-trastuzumab antibody in IgG1 format as a reference standard, for example HCA176 or HCA177. Trastuzumab, also known as Herceptin, is a drug used in the treatment of HER2 positive breast cancer and other HER2 over-expressing cancers including HER2-positive metastatic cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. Trastuzumab binds to the HER2 (or c-erbB2) proto-oncogene, an EGF receptor-like protein found on 20-30% of breast cancer cells. The binding leads to antibody mediated (complement mediated) killing of the HER2 positive cells. This product is NOT FOR THERAPEUTIC USE.
