How to achieve sensitive and specific oligonucleotide quantification by hybrid immunoassay and LC–MS/MS

Oligonucleotide (OGN) therapy is increasingly recognized as an important therapeutic modality on the promise of curing diseases. However, unlike most biotherapeutics, the development of OGN drugs often requires their determination with high sensitivity and specificity in multiple, complex biologic matrices such as blood and tissues in order to measure their exposure and distribution for understating PK, PD and safety.

At Frontage Laboratories (PA, USA), we have developed highly sensitive and specific quantitative methods for determination of OGN in plasma and tissues using hybridization immunoassay and LC–MS techniques. In this webinar, we will present the method development, validation and comparison of these techniques for the quantification of OGN as well as a case study with antisense OGN.

What will you learn?

  • Bioanalysis of oligonucleotides in biological matrices (plasma, tissues)
  • Ultrasensitive quantification through hybridization based ECL assays
  • HPLC–MS/MS bioanalysis of oligonucleotides and metabolites
  • Pros and cons of hybrid immunoassays and LC–MS/MS
  • Fit-for-purpose method development and validation

Who may this interest?

  • Bioanalytical scientists
  • PK/PD scientists
  • Pharmaceutical researchers
  • Contract research providers
  • Bioanalytical method developers
