CA 2243943

The present invention relates to the use of a reagent that binds specifically to a predetermined ligand, contains one or more antibody constant region epitopes, and is uniform in specificity and affinity. The reagent can be produced continually, in the manufacture of calibrators (standards) and/or controls for diagnostic kits designed to qualitatively or quantitatively measure antibodies specific for a desired ligand. For example, the present invention encompasses recombinant mouse-human chimeric antibodies which may be used as calibrators (standards) and/or positive controls in assays and kits which measure human antibodies. Any species may be used in creating the chimeric antibodies, and the presence of any corresponding species of antibody may be detected.

L'invention concerne l'utilisation d'un réactif se fixant de façon spécifique à un ligand prédéterminé, contenant un ou plusieurs déterminants antigéniques d'anticorps à régions constantes et présentant une spécificité, ainsi qu'une affinité, uniformes. On peut produire ce réactif en continu dans la fabrication d'étalons et/ou de témoins pour des trousses de diagnostics conçues pour mesurer qualitativement ou quantitativement des anticorps spécifiques pour un ligand souhaité. L'invention concerne, par exemple, des anticorps chimères recombinés de l'homme et de la souris, qu'on peut utiliser en tant qu'étalons et/ou de témoins positifs dans des techniques de dosage et dans des trousses mesurant les anticorps de l'homme. On peut utiliser toute espèce pour créer les anticorps chimères et on peut détecter la présence de toute espèce correspondante d'anticorps.
