Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) is a key mechanism of action for therapeutic antibodies. Previously, we developed a surrogate ADCC Reporter Bioassay using engineered reporter effector cells and demonstrated its suitability for antibody product release and stability study. Here we describe an improved ADCC assay using PBMC and engineered HiBiT-target cells for use in antibody early characterization and to enable ADCC method bridging studies.
