Summary for Patent: 7,601,335
Title:Pretreatment of a biological sample from an autoimmune disease subject
Abstract: The present application describes a method for pretreating a biological sample from an autoimmune disease subject in order to avoid interference, especially where the sample is to be subjected to a cell-based biological activity assay, such as a neutralizing antibody assay.
Inventor(s): McCutcheon; Krista (Burlingame, CA), Song; An (Palo Alto, CA)
Assignee: Genentech, Inc. (South San Francisco, CA)
Application Number:11/437,296
Patent Claims:1. A method of treating a biological sample from an autoimmune disease subject comprising: (a) delipidating the sample; (b) affinity purifying immunoglobulins in the sample; (c) concentrating the purified immunoglobulins; and (d) subjecting the concentrated immunoglobulins to a cell-based biological activity assay in the presence of a drug with which the subject has been treated.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the assay in (d) is a neutralizing antibody assay.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the sample in (a) is a serum sample.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the subject has rheumatoid arthritis.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the subject has systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE).

6. The method of claim 1 wherein step (b) comprises purifying essentially all immunoglobulin isotypes.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein step (b) comprises Protein A+G affinity purification.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the Protein A+G affinity purification is repeated two or more times.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein the Protein A+G affinity purification is repeated three times.

10. The method of claim 2 wherein the sample, prior to step a), interferes with the performance of the neutralizing antibody assay.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein the autoimmune disease subject has been treated with a therapeutic antibody or immunoadhesin.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein the autoimmune disease subject has been treated with a therapeutic antibody.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein the therapeutic antibody is a CD20 antibody.

14. The method of claim 13 wherein the therapeutic antibody is rituximab or humanized 2H7.

15. The method of claim 12 wherein the therapeutic antibody is selected from the group consisting of rituximab, humanized 2H7, 2F2 (HuMax-CD20) human CD20 antibody, humanized A20 antibody or IMMU-106, TRU 015, tumor necrosis factor (TNE)-.alpha. antibody, infliximab, CDP571, MAK-195, adalimumab, pegylated TNE-.alpha. antibody fragment, CDP-870, anti-TNF-.alpha. polyclonal antibody, PassTNF, integrin antibody, efalizumab, natalizumab, BAFF antibody, BR3 antibody, BAFF receptor antibody, Blys antibody, belimumab, CD37 antibody, TRU 016, CD22 antibody, epratuzumab, Abiogen CD22 antibody, CMC 544, combotox, BL22, LIF 226, VEGF antibody, VEGF receptor antibody, bevacizumab, ranibizumab, anti-HER antibody, trastuzumab, pertuzumab, cetuximab, anti-IgE antibody, omalizumab, IL-21 antibody, Impheron anti-B cell antibody, 1D09C3, Lym-1 antibody, oncolym, ISF 154, gomilixima, IL-6 receptor antibody, atlizumab, IL-15 antibody, HuMax-Il-15, chemokine receptor antibody, CCR2 antibody, MLN1202, anti-complement antibody, C5 antibody, eculizuma, oral formulation of human immunoglobulin, IgPO, IL-12 antibody, ABT-874, teneliximab, CD40 antibody, humanized S2C6, TNX 100, CD52 antibody, campath-1H, and .alpha.v.beta.3 antibody.

16. The method of claim 12 wherein the therapeutic antibody is an integrin antibody.

17. The method of claim 16 wherein the integrin antibody is efalizumab or natalizumab.

18. The method of claim 11 wherein the autoimmune disease subject has been treated with an immunoadhesin.

19. The method of claim 18 wherein the immunoadhesin is selected from the group consisting of BR3-Ig, TNE-.alpha. immunoadhesin, etanercept, anti-BAFF peptibody, TACI-Ig, BCMA-Ig, CTLA4-Ig, abatacept, and BAFF-R-Ig.

20. The method of claim 11 wherein the autoimmune disease subject has been treated with a tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-.alpha. antibody or a TNF-.alpha. immunoadhesin.

21. The method of claim 20 wherein the autoimmune disease subject has been treated with infliximab, adalimumab, etanercept, CDP-870 or D2E7.

22. The method of claim 1 wherein the autoimmune disease subject has been treated with a drug selected from the group consisting of pegylated soluble TNF-R, pegsunercept, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), anakira, DN-BAFF, and vaccine.
