Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration. State of Matter Liquid Product Preparation Recombinant biosimilar antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using only in vitro protein free cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates. Pathogen Testing To protect mouse colonies from infection by pathogens and to assure that experimental preclinical data is not affected by such pathogens, all of Leinco’s recombinant biosimilar antibodies are tested and guaranteed to be negative for all pathogens in the IDEXX IMPACT I Mouse Profile. Storage and Handling Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at ≤ -70°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. Regulatory Status Research Use Only Country of Origin USA Shipping 2 – 8° C Wet Ice Additional Applications Reported In Literature ? Apoptosis Assays, Binding Assays, ELISA, FA, FC, IF, WB Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications.

as the therapeutic antibody Ofatumumab. OMB-157 binds to a distinct epitope on the CD20
molecule, inducing potent B-cell lysis and depletion. Background CD20 is a transmembrane protein that is prominently present on the surface of B-cells from
the early to mature stages, but notably absent on hematopoietic stem cells, pro-B cells, or
plasma cells. Its significance lies in its role in B-cell functions such as activation and
differentiation. It is a key target for monoclonal antibodies used in the treatment of B-cell-
related diseases and autoimmune conditions. Monoclonal antibodies targeting CD20 have
been widely used to treat B-cell lymphomas, leukemias, and autoimmune diseases like
rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. These antibodies work by selectively
targeting and depleting B-cells that express CD20, thereby modulating the immune response
and reducing inflammation. This targeted approach has shown promising results in managing
various B-cell disorders and has significantly improved the prognosis for patients with these
conditions1,2. Ofatumumab, also known as OMB 157, is an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody specifically developed to treat relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). Administered through subcutaneous injection, this medication functions by selectively binding to the CD20 molecule on B cells, inducing their destruction and subsequent reduction in number. Clinical studies have demonstrated the potential of ofatumumab in reducing disease activity in individuals with relapsing multiple sclerosis, highlighting its promise as a therapeutic option in the management of this condition3,4. Antigen Distribution CD20 is primarily expressed on the surface of B lymphocytes,
including both normal and malignant B cells. Ligand/Receptor Src family tyrosine kinases, MHC class I, II, CD53, CD81, CD82 NCBI Gene Bank ID UniProt.org Research Area Biosimilars . Immuno-Oncology . Inflammatory Disease . Autoimmune Disease Leinco Antibody AdvisorPowered by AI: AI is experimental and still learning how to provide the best assistance. It may occasionally generate incorrect or incomplete responses. Please do not rely solely on its recommendations when making purchasing decisions or designing experiments. Research-grade Ofatumumab biosimilars are used as calibration standards or reference controls in PK bridging ELISA assays to enable accurate, standardized quantitation of Ofatumumab concentrations in serum samples across clinical studies. In a pharmacokinetic (PK) bridging ELISA, the use of a single analytical standard—often a research-grade biosimilar (such as Ofatumumab)—is a best-practice approach for measuring the drug concentration, regardless of whether the sample contains the reference (originator) product or its biosimilar. Here is how this process works based on current bioanalytical strategies:
This approach is industry standard, explicitly recommended in current regulatory guidance for biosimilar bioanalysis because it ensures methodological rigor, reliability, and cross-study comparability. If using a commercial ELISA kit, such as the KRIBIOLISA™ Ofatumumab ELISA, similar principles apply: the provided standards are typically biosimilar or recombinant Ofatumumab, and user samples—regardless of originator or biosimilar source—are measured against this calibration curve. Key Points:
The primary in vivo models for studying the effects of a research-grade anti-CD20 antibody on tumor growth inhibition and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are syngeneic mouse models using murine anti-CD20 antibodies, and, less commonly, humanized models or genetically modified mouse models that express human CD20. Key model types:
Model features for TIL characterization:
Examples from literature:
Summary of best-use models:
No single model perfectly recapitulates human disease or immune contexture, but these systems are considered standard for interrogating anti-CD20 effects on tumor growth and the immune landscape. Researchers study the use of Ofatumumab biosimilar in combination with other checkpoint inhibitors—such as anti-CTLA-4 or anti-LAG-3 biosimilars—in immune-oncology models to assess potential synergistic effects that may enhance anti-tumor immunity or overcome resistance to single-agent therapies. These combination strategies are typically explored in both preclinical animal models and early-phase clinical trials. Key aspects of these combination studies:
How combinations are tested in immune-oncology models:
Context on Ofatumumab and its biosimilar status:
Checkpoint Inhibitor Combinations:
Overall, the combination of Ofatumumab biosimilar and checkpoint inhibitors is an active area of research, with the aim to exploit complementary immune mechanisms to achieve superior outcomes in complex immune-oncology models. As of now, most literature focuses on the rationale, preclinical evidence, and early-phase clinical observations, as detailed published data for specific combinations with Ofatumumab biosimilars are still emerging. A biosimilar of Ofatumumab can be used as the capture or detection reagent in a bridging ADA ELISA to measure anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) in patient samples by exploiting the bivalent nature of ADAs, which allows simultaneous binding to two drug molecules—one immobilized on the plate and one labeled for detection. Context and details:
Summary Table: ADA Bridging ELISA with Ofatumumab Biosimilar
This setup allows quantification and monitoring of a patient's immune response against Ofatumumab therapy by detecting circulating ADAs specific to the biosimilar (and by inference, the reference drug).
