Determination of free anti-infliximab antibodies
Infliximab is a recombinant protein used to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This protein can induce humoral immune responses and lead to anti-drug antibody formation which is a major cause of loss of drug response. The IDKmonitor Infliximab Free Anti-drug ELISA kit is a microplate-based quantitative sandwich ELISA for the determination of free anti-infliximab antibodies in plasma or serum samples. Detecting high levels of free anti-infliximab antibodies in patients when the drug level is low (undetectable or sub-therapeutic) may indicate poorer long-term outcomes and suggest the need to switch treatment.
