Neutralizing anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) may affect safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic profile of a biotherapeutic drug and thus their assessment is of particular importance during immunogenicity testing. Neutralizing antibody (NAb) assays typically rely on NAbs ability to block the drug-target interaction. Higher NAb concentration and/or higher binding affinity of NAb to the drug, lowers the drug-target binding interaction. However, in the presence of high concentrations of residual circulating drug, as often seen for drugs with longer half-lives or in repeat-dose studies, NAbs may exist as drug bound complexes. In direct NAb assay formats, the NAb-drug complexes present in the sample could result in the NAb being unable to block the drug-target interaction eventually leading to a false negative response. The residual free circulating drug present in the sample may bind to the target in the NAb assay thereby competing with the drug used in the assay and inhibiting the assay signal, leading to a false positive response. For traditional ADA assays, multiple approaches involving acid treatment have been described to mitigate circulating drug interference issue. Here, we report two acid-treatment approaches that utilize the Dynabeads extraction with acid dissociation and Affinity Capture Elution (ACE) principle to improve drug tolerance in NAb assays.
