A microtiter plate was coated over night with human interleukin 6 receptor at a concentration of 1 μg/ml. After washing and blocking with PBST+5% BSA, a pre-incubated mixture of tocilizumab (0.3 μg/ml) plus increasing concentrations of the inhibitory Human anti tocilizumab clone AbD21362 (HCA252) or the non-inhibitory monovalent Fab fragment of clone AbD22155_hIgG1 (HCA257) was added. Free tocilizumab, still capable of binding to the human interleukin 6 receptor-coated plate, was detected using Mouse anti Human IgG (Fc) CH2 Domain:HRP (MCA647P) and QuantaBlu™™ fluorogenic peroxidase substrate. Data is presented as the mean of three measurements
Human anti Tocilizumab
Anti-tocilizumab antibody is a recombinant, inhibitory anti-idiotypic antibody in monovalent Fab format; it is ideal for bioanalytical assay development to measure levels of tocilizumab or biosimilars. It is recommended as capture antibody in PK bridging ELISA with HCA253/HCA253P.

Human Anti-Tocilizumab Antibody, clone AbD21362 is a paratope specific, anti-idiotypic antibody that binds to free tocilizumab but not to human Interleukin-6 Receptor (IL-6R) or the drug/IL-6R complex. The antibody can be used to measure the levels of tocilizumab and biosimilar products in bioanalytical and patient monitoring assays.
A pair of anti-tocilizumab antibodies can be used to develop a pharmacokinetic (PK) bridging assay to measure free drug. This antibody, in monovalent Fab format, is recommended as a capture antibody, paired with an HRP conjugated Anti-Tocilizumab Antibody in full immunoglobulin format, clone AbD21338_hIgG1 (HCA253) as the detection antibody.
Tocilizumab (RoActemra/Actemra) is a humanized IgG1/kappa monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis and for the treatment of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The therapeutic antibody is directed against IL-6R and acts by blocking the binding of IL-6R (both the soluble form, sIL-6R, and the membrane bound form, mIL-6R) to IL-6, thus impeding the pro-inflammatory properties of this cytokine.
