Background: Immunogenicity testing is an important component of clinical development for large-molecule biotherapeutics. New complex types of large molecules, such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), require careful evaluation of the testing strategy and bioanalytical assays used to monitor the development of antitherapeutic antibodies.
Results: An electrochemiluminescence-based immunoassay for the detection and epitope characterization of anti-ADC antibodies was validated. Using this assay format, antibodies directed against the monoclonal antibody and linker-drug components of the ADC were successfully detected in a multiple-dose rat toxicity study.
Conclusion: Immunogenicity assays incorporating epitope determination may provide additional information about the characteristics of induced antitherapeutic antibodies, including the magnitude and timing of the various types of antibody responses.

Introduction: Toxocarosis in human beings is currently diagnosed by serological assay based on the detection of antibodies against Toxocara antigens. Toxocara canis larvae do not reach the adult stage in paratenic hosts like humans and mice. Therefore experimental infection in mice, which mimics the biology of human infection, might be relevant to get a better understanding of human toxocarosis.

The newly emerged variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) demonstrate resistance to present therapeutic antibodies as well as the capability to evade vaccination-elicited antibodies. JN.1 sublineages were demonstrated as one of the most immune-evasive variants, showing higher neutralization resistance compared to XBB.

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium TB, is the most significant infectious cause of mortality across the globe. While TB disease can prey on immunocompetent individuals, it is more likely to occur in immunocompromised individuals. Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are a group of diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurative, autoimmune blistering diseases, and others) where there may be a need for systemic immunosuppression to control the disease manifestations, treat symptoms and improve long term outcomes.

Sheeppox and Goatpox are highly contagious transboundary viral diseases of sheep and goats caused by Capripoxvirus, respectively. This study describes the development of indirect ELISA and its serodiagnostic potential as an alternative to the gold standard serum neutralization test (SNT). The homologue of vaccinia virus, ORF 117 (A27L) gene of the Romanian Fenner (RF) strain of Sheeppox virus (SPPV) was used for producing the full-length recombinant A27L (rA27L) protein (∼22 kDa) in a prokaryotic expression system.
