RESUMO
AIM: Recombinant glycoprotein produced in nonhuman mammalian cell lines can be modified with the immunogenic nonhuman sialic N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc). We describe here a validated method for detection of antidrug antibodies against both protein and Neu5Gc-containing glycan epitopes. RESULTS: An electrochemiluminescent method was established with drug conjugates as capture and detection reagents. Rabbit antidrug polyclonal antibodies were used as the positive control for protein moiety-specific antibodies, while chicken anti-Neu5Gc polyclonal antibodies were used as the positive control for antibodies against Neu5Gc glycan epitope. Specificity to Neu5Gc was verified by signal inhibition with bovine γ-globulin that contains Neu5Gc. CONCLUSION: The assay illustrated here discerns the immunogenicity of the protein backbone and the sialic acid Neu5Gc glycan moiety of a recombinant protein containing Neu5Gc.

The 5th GCC in Barcelona (Spain) and 6th GCC in San Antonio (TX, USA) events provided a unique opportunity for CRO leaders to openly share opinions and perspectives, and to agree upon recommendations on biomarker bioanalytical method validation.
