  • Antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis assay for reliably measuring uptake of aggregated proteins
    Patent number: 11340225
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of assaying for antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP). In some embodiments, the methods include monomerizing and labeling a protein, contacting the protein with a protein-specific antibody to form an antibody-protein complex, contacting the antibody-protein complex with a phagocytic cell to permit phagocytosis, and assessing the amount of internalized fluorescence.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 14, 2017
    Date of Patent: May 24, 2022
    Assignee: Biogen International Neuroscience GmbH
    Inventors: Carl Co, Allyson Masci, Svetlana Bergelson
