Example 11
The specificity of anti-PD-1 antibodies was examined by detecting their binding to CD28 family members ICOS, CTLA-4 and CD28 (R&D System) using standard ELISA. Briefly, different concentrations of 67D9, c67D9, or hu67D9 were added to 96-well plates coated with ICOS, CTLA-4, CD28 or PD-1-Fc, followed by incubation at room temperature for 2 h. After washing, HRP-conjugated goat anti-human kappa (for detecting c67D9 or hu67D9) or HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse kappa (for detecting 67D9) was added and the plates were further incubated for 1 h. Finally, TMB was added as a substrate for HRP, and the absorbance was measured at 450 nm. As shown in
