Abstract

HER-2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2) is a protein giving higher aggressiveness in human breast cancers. Trastuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets HER-2 and is known to extend survival across all stages of HER2-positive breast cancer. In this study, we attempted to development of a quantitative ELISA (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) for evaluating anti HER-2 antibodies using human HER-2 recombinant proteins to support antibody producing processes and pharmacokinetic studies. We established direct or indirect ELISA method for the trastuzumab-like protein combined human recombinant HER-2. The ELISA method will prove to be great value in quantitating anti-HER-2 antibodies levels for developing anticancer antibodies.
