A humanized platform for therapeutic antibody PK evaluation
4 Apr 2024Evolutionary changes in the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) mean that regular wild-type mice cannot accurately predict how human therapeutic antibodies will behave. The Jackson Laboratory has created transgenic mouse lines with human FcRn, forming the HuPK platform. These models can predict how antibodies and other biologics will behave in humans. Various HuPK models exist with additional modifications to study specific aspects of drug behavior. The Jackson Laboratory provides an overview of the available models, study design templates, expected results, and troubleshooting tips in the context of the most common applications of its HuPK Platform.

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.Animal ModelsThe use of non-human animals in experiments or behavorial observations. The research is conducted inside universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, farms, defence establishments, and commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to industry. It includes pure research such as genetics, developmental biology, behavioral studies, as well as applied research such as pharmaceutical testing in pre-clinical, before human, studies. Therapeutic AntibodiesTherapeutic antibodies are antibodies engineered for use in treating diseases. They can be designed to target specific antigens, blocking harmful interactions or modulating immune responses. Therapeutic antibodies are critical in treating conditions like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases.
