Comparing Protein A Resins for Monoclonal Antibody Purification
Protein A is the affinity chromatography ligand of choice for the first antibody capture step, because its high selectivity gives excellent purity (typically > 99%) and high yields. Furthermore, Prote…

Ligand-Binding Assays and the Determination of Biosimilarity
Consequently, functional assays, such as ligand-binding assays (LBAs) and mechanism of action (MOA) cell-based assays (CBAs), must be developed to effectively assess biosimilars. In many cases, LBAs a…

Applications of Surface Plasmon Resonance for Detection of Bispecific Antibody Activity
The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is often used to assess ligand binding; however, it is an indirect method and the output is limited to end-point data. By contrast, label-free technologie…
