DescriptionDescriptionSpecificity This non-therapeutic biosimilar antibody uses the same variable region sequence as the therapeutic antibody Adalimumab. Clone D2E7 binds to soluble TNF- α, but not to TNF- β (lymphotoxin). This product is for research use only. Background Adalimumab is a research-grade monoclonal antibody that works by inactivating tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). TNF-α is a 17.5 kD protein that mediates inflammation and immunity caused by the invasion of viruses, bacteria, and parasites by initiating a cascade of cytokines that increase vascular permeability, thus bringing macrophages and neutrophils to the site of infection. TNF-α secreted by the macrophage causes the blood to clot which provides containment of the infection. TNF-α inactivation has proven to be important in downregulating the inflammatory reactions associated with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, moderate to severe chronic psoriasis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Adalimumab blocks the interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors thus, neutralizing the biological function of TNF. Anti-Human TNF alpha (Adalimumab) utilizes the same variable regions from the therapeutic antibody Adalimumab making it ideal for research projects. Antigen Distribution TNF-α is secreted by macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils, T cells, B cells, NK cells, LAK cells.

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 adalimumab biosimilars play a critical role as calibration standards and reference controls in pharmacokinetic bridging ELISA assays for measuring drug concentrations in serum samples. These applications are essential for ensuring accurate, reproducible measurements across different laboratories and assay platforms. Role as Calibration StandardsResearch-grade adalimumab biosimilars serve as primary calibration standards in ELISA-based therapeutic drug monitoring assays. The World Health Organization has established an international standard (IS) for adalimumab that functions as a universal reference point for calibrating bioassays and clinical monitoring assays. This standardized approach helps harmonize measurements across different laboratories and assay platforms, ensuring consistent and reliable results regardless of the specific method employed. When used as calibration standards, these biosimilars are prepared in serial dilutions to create standard curves that typically span the therapeutic range of adalimumab concentrations. For example, validated ELISA assays often use standard curves ranging from 1.54 ng/ml to 300 ng/ml, with the linear quantification range typically falling between 5.2 ng/ml to 200 ng/ml. The biosimilar standards are reconstituted fresh for each assay run to maintain consistency and accuracy. Quality Control ApplicationsResearch-grade biosimilars function as quality control samples at multiple concentration levels within the assay range. These quality control points are strategically placed throughout the standard curve to monitor assay performance. Typical quality control concentrations include low, medium, and high levels such as 5.2, 16, 27, 150, and 200 ng/ml. These controls help identify potential issues with assay drift, matrix effects, or systematic errors during the analytical run. Bridging Study ApplicationsIn pharmacokinetic bridging studies, research-grade adalimumab biosimilars serve as common reference standards to compare different adalimumab formulations or biosimilar products. Multi-center collaborative studies have demonstrated that when laboratories use the same adalimumab international standard alongside their in-house standards, excellent agreement is observed in adalimumab content estimates regardless of the specific assay method or platform used. This standardization is crucial for establishing bioequivalence between originator products and biosimilars. ELISA Design and ValidationThe most common ELISA format for adalimumab measurement uses recombinant human TNF-α (rhTNF-α) as the capture antibody, taking advantage of adalimumab's mechanism of action as a TNF-α antagonist. In this design, the research-grade biosimilar standards are captured by the immobilized rhTNF-α and detected using anti-human IgG antibodies conjugated to detection enzymes. The validation process requires that biosimilar standards demonstrate acceptable binding kinetics, with dissociation constants (KD) typically in the range of 2.38×10⁻⁷ nM. The assays must meet stringent precision and accuracy criteria, with coefficient of variation (CV) values less than 20% for inter- and intra-assay measurements, and accuracy within 25% at the upper and lower limits of quantification. Matrix Effects and Dilution LinearityResearch-grade biosimilars are used to validate dilution linearity in serum matrices, ensuring that samples with concentrations above the assay range can be accurately diluted and measured. This validation typically involves preparing spiked serum samples using pooled normal human sera and demonstrating that diluted samples maintain accuracy within ±20% of expected values across the entire dilution range. Inter-Laboratory StandardizationOne of the most significant advantages of using research-grade adalimumab biosimilar standards is their ability to harmonize results across different laboratories and platforms. Studies involving multiple laboratories, including contract research organizations, national control laboratories, commercial kit manufacturers, hospital laboratories, and clinical diagnostic centers, have shown that using common adalimumab international standards reduces inter-laboratory variability and improves result comparability. This standardization is particularly important for therapeutic drug monitoring in clinical settings, where accurate adalimumab level measurements are essential for optimizing dosing regimens and improving patient outcomes. The use of validated research-grade biosimilar standards ensures that clinicians can make informed treatment decisions based on reliable pharmacokinetic data, regardless of which laboratory performs the analysis.

These approaches are standard for initial validation and for detailed characterization of binding interactions between Adalimumab biosimilars and TNF-α using flow cytometry. Biosimilar analytical testing involves a comprehensive battery of assays designed to demonstrate structural and functional similarity between a proposed biosimilar and the reference originator drug. This analytical similarity assessment forms the foundation for biosimilar approval and relies on multiple complementary analytical techniques. Structural Characterization AssaysThe structural analysis encompasses multiple levels of molecular architecture. Primary structure analysis involves peptide mapping to examine the amino acid sequence and identify any post-translational modifications. Secondary and higher order structure assessment uses techniques like circular dichroism spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance to evaluate protein folding patterns. Mass spectrometry and chromatographic techniques are extensively deployed to characterize the molecular properties and assess process impurities and product-related impurity profiles. These physicochemical studies provide detailed information about molecular weight, charge variants, and other critical structural attributes that could impact biological function. Functional AssessmentFunctional assays serve as the crucial link between structural data and clinical expectations, answering whether any observed structural differences translate into meaningful biological differences. The functional characterization program typically includes: Binding Assays evaluate the biosimilar's ability to bind to its target receptor or antigen with equivalent affinity to the reference product. For antibody-based biosimilars, Fc receptor binding assays are particularly important to demonstrate that any glycosylation differences don't impact immune system interactions. Biological Potency Assays use cell-based systems to measure the biosimilar's ability to elicit the same biological response as the originator drug. These assays evaluate enzyme kinetics and other functional parameters that directly relate to therapeutic efficacy. Orthogonal Methods are employed to provide multiple complementary approaches for characterizing product properties and more sensitively assess for potential differences between the biosimilar and reference product. Impurity and Aggregate AnalysisThe analytical similarity assessment must include rigorous comparison of purity and impurity profiles, serving as a sensitive fingerprint of the entire manufacturing process. This analysis evaluates:
Risk-Based ApproachMolecular properties are ranked by their risk of impact on the product's activity, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, efficacy, or immunogenicity. This risk assessment determines which attributes are most critical for demonstrating biosimilarity, with particular focus placed on properties based on the protein's nature and mechanism of action. Manufacturers conduct head-to-head comparisons where results must fall within appropriate limits, ranges, or distributions established through extensive characterization of the reference product. These highly sensitive analytical methods allow measurement of molecular properties across multiple lots of both the proposed biosimilar and reference product. Regarding the Leinco biosimilar specifically, the search results do not contain information about this particular biosimilar or its use in analytical studies. The analytical approaches described above represent the standard methodologies used across the biosimilar industry for demonstrating similarity to originator biologics, but specific details about Leinco's biosimilar products are not available in the provided sources.
