PBMC ADCC Bioassay

Eliminate the Uncertainty and Variability of Primary Cell-Based ADCC Assays

The peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)-based assay provides improved consistency and robustness for measuring antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). The assays provide ADCC-qualified PBMC effector cells and a choice of popular target cells expressing a HiBiT fusion protein. Upon target-cell killing, a bright luminescent signal is generated. The bioassay is simple, homogenous, highly sensitive and provides a robust assay window. It demonstrates antibody potency comparable with the ADCC Reporter Bioassay in ADCC bridging studies.

Assay Principle

When HiBiT-expressing target cells are incubated with an antibody and PBMCs, the target cells are lysed and release HiBiT proteins. These proteins bind to the complementary polypeptide LgBiT in the detection reagent to reconstitute functional NanoBiT® luciferase and generate luminescence.

Comparison Between PBMC and ADCC Reporter Bioassay

The PBMC ADCC Bioassay, using engineered HiBiT target cells (left panel), measures the antibody potency and specific target cell killing for anti-CD20 antibody rituximab. The results are comparable to those obtained with the Human ADCC Reporter Bioassay, V Variant (right panel).
