Enzyme - Switch sensors for therapeutic drug monitoring of immunotherapies.

ABSTRACT: Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (TmAb) have emerged as effective treatments for a number of cancers and autoimmune diseases. However, large interpatient disparities in the pharmacokinetics of TmAb treatment requires close therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) to optimise dosage for individual patients. Here we demonstrate an approach for achieving rapid, sensitive quantification of two monoclonal antibody therapies using a previously described enzyme switch sensor platform. The enzyme switch sensor consists of a β-lactamase - β-lactamase inhibitor protein (BLA-BLIP) complex with two anti-idiotype binding proteins (Affimer proteins) as recognition elements. The BLA-BLIP sensor was engineered to detect two TmAbs (trastuzumab and ipilimumab) by developing constructs incorporating novel syntheti
