Biologic therapy monitoring: IDKmonitor® Etanercept free ADA, ELISA
Kits
Description
The IDKmonitor® Etanercept free ADA ELISA for the detection of antibodies against
etanercept (e.g. Enbrel®) measures free antibodies against etanercept. Anti-TNFa
therapeutic antibodies are used for suppressing therapy in rheumatic patients. There
is a possibility that patients under anti-TNFa-antibody therapy develop antibodies
against the therapeutic antibodies. This might lead to severe complications, even to
a systemic anaphylaxis with possibly lethal outcome.
