A Multiplexed Approach for Immunogenicity Assessment Using the New SQiDlite™ System: Case Study Analysis

Life Sciences, Pharmaceutical, Drug Discovery & Development, Laboratory Technology,
  • Thursday, July 11, 2013

In collaboration with SQI Diagnostics, Algorithme Pharma offers a unique multiplexed immunoassay system to characterize Anti-Drug-Antibody (ADA) using a reporter cocktail of differentially labeled secondary antibodies. The SQI Diagnostics’ SQiDlite™ system combines ADA screening and quantitative capabilities while simultaneously characterizing antibody isotypes (e.g. IgG, IgA, IgE or IgM), and subclasses (e.g. IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4).

In this webinar, we will be presenting a case study on Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) antibodies developed in response to heparin, and its low molecular weight analogues using the SQI Diagnostics’ platform. This case study will illustrate the capabilities of the novel SQiDlite™ system in assessing the immunogenicity of a wide variety of biologic therapeutics required in safety and efficacy studies.

Speakers

Jaymie R. Sawyer, Ph.D., Vice-President, Research and Development, SQI Diagnostics

Dr. Jaymie Sawyer joined SQI Diagnostics as VP of Research and Development in 2010 as an experienced leader in both bead based and planar protein arrays and multiplexed immunoassay development. With a doctorate in genetics from the Univ. of Wisconsin, Dr. Sawyer also has expertise in both hybridoma and phage display antibody discovery.

As a founding member of Motorola Biochip Systems, Dr. Sawyer was responsible for the inception and development of protein arrays on the Codelink platform as well as developing applications for microfluidic and novel detection technologies. She later moved to BD Biosciences to take responsibility for setting up a fully automated, high throughput screening lab for phage libraries in collaboration with Dyax Corp. As R&D Director with BD Biosciences, Dr. Sawyer was responsible for reagent and assay development and led the Cytometric Bead Array program bringing high value multiplexed research immuno-assays to market.
