Polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains are often used to modify therapeutic biologic agents in order to prolong the circulating half-life of the modified protein by slowing proteolytic degradation. It has been reported that repeat injections of PEGylated proteins can induce anti-PEG antibodies. Anti-PEG antibodies can result in rapid clearance and decreased drug efficacy (accelerated blood clearance, or ABC, phenomenon).
The Anti-PEG BioAssay™ ELISA Kit (Human IgM Specific) is for the qualitative determination of anti-PEG IgM antibodies in human serum and plasma.
Test Principle
This immunogenicity assay uses the direct ELISA technique. The supplied 96 well microplate is pre-coated with PEG. Quality Control and test samples are pipetted into the appropriate wells. Anti-PEG antibodies bind the immobilized PEG. After washing, detection antibody (anti-human IgG Peroxidase) is added. Any unbound antibody-enzyme reagent is removed with a final wash and a substrate solution is added to the wells for color development. Color development is proportional to the amount of anti-PEG IgM.
