Therapeutic Protein Selection in Simulated In Vivo Conditions

Abstract:

A method of determining the effect of non-specific interactions in simulated in vivo conditions is presently disclosed. The method includes (a) contacting a solution comprising a biologically relevant molecular crowding agent and a target molecule with a biosensor, wherein the surface of the biosensor comprises a capture molecule that specifically binds the target molecule; (b) allowing the target molecule to bind to the capture molecule; and (c) determining an amount of the target molecule bound to capture molecule using biolayer interferometry.
