摘要

IgM-selective proteolytic cleavage can become a groundbreaking tool for immunoassay-based bioanalysis. We tested the utility of a newly introduced IgM-selective protease in three different bioanalytical applications and showed that protease treatment can eliminate rheumatoid factor interference and simplify IgM isotyping. Surprisingly, we discovered that a gene therapy-induced immune response was underestimated in an anti-capsid IgG assay when treatment-emergent IgM were present in the matrix. Selective IgM digestion eliminated this interference.
