Somerset, NJ, January 28, 2013 – Michael Sadick, PhD, Senior Manager, Biopharmaceutical Characterization, Catalent Pharma Solutions, is to present at the WCBP conference in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, January 29, 2013.
Dr. Sadick’s presentation, entitled “Establishment and Optimization of a Potency Assay for an Effector mAb Using “ADCC Reporter Bioassay,” will detail the adaptation of the Promega ADCC NFAT-Luciferase system to the real world case of a client effector mAb therapeutic that required a more quantitative, robust accurate and rapid potency assay than could be provided using a classical lytic ADCC assay. The strategies utilized to optimize the method will be explained, as will be the potential advantages of using this assay system.
