The experimental parameters evaluated in this study were immobilising ligands by pre-concentration assays, sensor surface regeneration, ascertaining the method’s sensitivity and correlating the results from quantifying plasma samples by ELISA immunoassay. The results showed that SPR immunosensory detection provided a precise, sensitive strategy, along with real-time determination, for quantifying adalimumab, having great potential for clinical routine regarding TDM %I Universidad de La Sabana %K Adalimumab %K Medicamentos -- Efectos fisiológicos %T Label-free quantification of anti-TNF-alpha in patients treated with adalimumab using an optical biosensor %~ Intellectum
