ImmunoGuide® Enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) test kit for the determination of free Rituximab (Mabthera®, Rituxan®) in serum and plasma.<br><br>
The drug Rituximab (trade name Rituxan® and Mabthera®) is a genetically engineered chimeric murine/human monoclonal antibody directed against the CD20 antigen found on the surface of normal and malignant B lymphocytes. The antibody is a glycosylated IgG1 kappa immunoglobulin containing murine light-and heavy-chain variable region sequences (Fab domain) and human constant region sequences (Fc domain). Rituximab is composed of 1,328 amino acids and has an approximate molecular weight of 144 kD. Rituximab has a high binding affinity for the CD20 antigen.<br><br>
The specificity of this test system is achieved by using a monoclonal antibody (clon 9D5b) for the coating of the microtiter plate. This antibody is specific for Rituximab only (regardless whether Rituxan® and Mabthera®) and does not cross react with other CD20 catchers. For research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedures.
