ImmunoGuide® Enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) test kit for the determination of total antibodies (free and Infliximab-bound) directed against the drug Infliximab (Remicade®, Remsima® and Inflectra®) in serum and plasma.<br><br>
The drug Infliximab (trade name Remicade®, Remsima®, or Inflectra®) is a chimeric monoclonal antibody and used to treat auto-immune disorders. One of the major concerns, despite of its wide usage, is the potential development of anti-Infliximab antibodies (ATI) which in turn may interfere with the drug efficacy as mainly judged by observing the relapse of signs and symptoms of disease and necessitate dose-escalation or potentially ending up the treatment.<br><br>
The ImmunoGuide Total Antibody to Infliximab ELISA Kit can be efficiently used for measuring free and Infliximab-bound antibodies against the drug Infliximab. In combination with the drug level determination, the ImmunoGuide Total Antibody to Infliximab ELISA Kit has been designed for the measurement of free antibodies against this drug. It also detects such antibodies which already are bound to the drug, even if the drug is present in a 20 fold excess. For research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedures.
