title: Use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection and quantification of monoclonal antibodies.
abstract: The thrust of the present work is the demonstration of the feasibility of using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection and quantification of a monoclonal antibody human serum. The antibodies used, 7E3 and D3GP3, have been proposed as platelet receptor blockers, being directed specifically against the platelet membrane receptors (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa) and thus of significance in the management of patients at a very hgih risk of thrombotic occlusion. It is shown that 7E3 is more easily adsorbed than D3GP3 and hence has a higher potential for the stated application.
