Human Anti-Pembrolizumab Antibody, clone AbD30685_hIgG1 is a paratope specific, inhibitory anti-idiotypic antibody that specifically recognizes the free humanized monoclonal antibody pembrolizumab. The antibody does not recognize recombinant human programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) or pembrolizumab in complex with recombinant human PD-1 and can be used to measure free pembrolizumab levels in serum from patients.Clone AbD30685_hIgG1 is a fully human recombinant monoclonal antibody with IgG1 isotype and is suitable as a reference standard in an anti-drug antibody (ADA) assay. A pair of anti-pembrolizumab antibodies can be used to develop a pharmacokinetic (PK) bridging assay to measure free drug. This antibody, in full immunoglobulin format, is recommended as the detection antibody paired with clone AbD30689 (HCA296) in monovalent Fab format as the capture antibody.Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) is a humanized (IgG4/kappa) antibody with the heavy chain mutation S228P (IgG4-Pro). Pembrolizumab is used to treat inoperable or metastatic melanoma, metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and as a second-line treatment for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). For NSCLC, pembrolizumab is a first line treatment if the cancer overexpresses PDL1 and has no mutations in EGFR or ALK. Pembrolizumab is a checkpoint inhibitor and acts as an immunomodulator by blocking ligand activation of PD-1 receptor on T cells, thereby activating T cells to attack the cancer. It blocks PD-1 interaction with PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) and PD-1 ligand 2 (PD-L2).View a summary of all anti-pembrolizumab antibodies
