Assay Principle
Indatuximab ELISA Kit is a quantitative colorimetric ELISA designed to measure Indatuximab in research samples. Concentrations are interpolated from a standard curve, giving traceable quantitative readouts for comparative analyses across experimental conditions.
Background
Indatuximab ravtansine (BT062) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) based on a murine/human chimeric form of B-B4 (CD138-specific antibody), which is covalently conjugated to the maytansinoid drug DM4 via a disulfide bond-based linker. Maytansinoids are structural analogs of the cytotoxic agent maytansine, which has been evaluated in phase I and phase II clinical trials. They exhibit anti-mitotic activity by inducing metaphase arrest of dividing cells, causing cell death. Upon internalization of indatuximab ravtansine by target tumor cells, lysosomal processing of the disulfide linker generates a lysine metabolite which is reduced and S-methylated producing the lipophilic and cytotoxic metabolite, S-methyl-DM4. The mechanism of action of indatuximab ravtansine resembles that of trastuzumab emtansine, an antibody-drug conjugate indicated for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer which uses the HER2-targeting properties of trastuzumab to deliver the cytotoxic DM1 within the cell by means of a stable linker. The intracellular drug delivery to target tumor cells can improve the therapeutic index of the cytotoxic drug and minimize exposure of normal tissue. Indatuximab ravtansine has previously been shown in vivo in multiple myeloma mouse xenograft models to significantly inhibit tumor growth and prolong host survival without any toxicity signals. Based on these preclinical results, a phase I clinical trial of indatuximab ravtansine demonstrated the first signs of clinical activity in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma without any toxicity signals. Furthermore, preliminary data from a phase I/IIa study in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma indicated that indatuximab ravtansine is well tolerated even in a multiple-dose schedule and provided further evidence of clinical activity. Indatuximab ravtansine is being investigated as part of a treatment for multiple myeloma.

Performance Data
The kit provides a quantitative range of 0.31-5 μg/mL, an analytical sensitivity of 0.156 μg/mL, typical spike recovery of 80-120%. Plan sample dilutions so readouts fall within the linear portion of the standard curve, and evaluate matrix effects with dilution-linearity and spike-recovery controls.
