Using Charcoal to Reduce Drug Interference in Antibody Tests for Therapeutic Peptides

Updated

Abstract

The optimized charcoal depletion improved assay drug tolerance by approximately 100-fold.

  • Peptide-based therapeutics like GLP-1 analogs are important for treating metabolic diseases.
  • Assessing immunogenicity during clinical development is crucial for understanding safety and efficacy.
  • A sample pretreatment strategy using activated charcoal was developed to reduce drug interference.
  • The method enabled the detection of neutralizing anti-drug antibodies in clinical samples.
  • This approach could be widely applicable to other peptide therapeutics facing drug tolerance issues.
