Test Principle of the IDKmonitor® Etanercept Free ADA ELISA

The IDKmonitor® Etanercept Free ADA ELISA is designed for the quantitative determination of free antibodies against etanercept (e. g. Enbrel®).

In the first incubation step, the free anti-therapeutic antibodies from the sample are bound to etanercept binding domains coated on the plate. A washing step is carried out to remove all unbound substances. In a further incubation step, a peroxidase-labeled therapeutic antibody (conjugate) is added. After another washing step, to remove all unbound substances, the solid phase is incubated with the substrate, Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). An acidic stop solution is then added.

The color converts to yellow. The absorbance of the color compound is determined photometrically at 450 nm. The intensity of the color is directly proportional to the amount of bound anti-etanercept (e. g. Enbrel®) antibodies from the sample. The results are evaluated by a cut-off control.
