Critical ligand binding reagent preparation/selection: When specificity depends on reagents
Journal Title: The AAPS Journal - Year 2007, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Throughout the life cycle of biopharmaceutical products, bioanalytical support is provided using ligand binding assays to measure the drug product for pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and immunogenicity studies. The specificity and selectivity of these ligand binding assays are highly dependent on the ligand binding reagents. Thus the selection, characterization, and management processes for ligand binding reagents are crucial to successful assay development and application. This report describes process considerations for selection and characterization of ligand binding reagents that are integral parts of the different phases of assay development. Changes in expression, purification, modification, and storage of the ligand binding reagents may have a profound effect on the ligand binding assay performance. Thus long-term management of the critical ligand binding assay reagents is addressed including suggested characterization criteria that allow ligand binding reagents to be used in as consistent a manner as possible. Examples of challenges related to the selection, modification, and characterization of ligand binding reagents are included.

Prediction of Biliary Excretion in Rats and Humans Using Molecular Weight and Quantitative Structure–Pharmacokinetic Relationships
The aims were (1) to evaluate the molecular weight (MW) dependence of biliary excretion and (2) to develop quantitative structure–pharmacokinetic relationships (QSPKR) to predict biliary clearance (CLb) and perce...
Lipid-based delivery of combinations of antisense oligodeoxynucleotides for the in vitro inhibition of HIV-1 replication
We evaluated a new approach to AIDS therapy by using combinations of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs), delivered with a lipid-based carrier system, that target different HIV viral genome sites. We identified some of the fact...
A Method to Evaluate Fetal Erythropoiesis from Postnatal Survival of Fetal RBCs
Fetal RBCs are produced during a period of very rapid growth and stimulated erythropoiesis under hypoxic intrauterine conditions. Fetal RBC life span varies with gestational age (GA) and is shorter than that in healthy a...
