摘要

Antibodies serve as essential recognition elements in in vitro diagnostics (IVD), yet reliance on polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) introduces significant challenges related to batch-to-batch consistency. To address this, we employed a de novo sequencing platform, which identified 15 candidate monoclonal antibody (mAb) sequences. From these, four distinct mAb mixtures were formulated and evaluated. Using an immunoturbidimetric assay to quantify apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) in 105 human serum samples, the performance of these mixtures was compared to that of a conventional pAb reagent. The four-mAb mixture demonstrated excellent correlation with the pAb assay (Passing-Bablok: y = 1.0536x-0.0748 g/L; r2 = 0.994). This optimized cocktail successfully replaced the pAb reagent, matching or exceeding its performance in key analytical parameters including linearity, sensitivity, and precision. Our work thus establishes a practical pathway for converting heterogeneous pAbs into defined, recombinant antibody reagents suitable for standardized IVD applications.
