To increase the efficiency of our therapeutic antibody generation process to achieve long term success, we developed alternative methods for assessing the quality of polyclonal antibodies in immune sera, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) 2 and hydrogen deuterium exchange (HDX) coupled with mass spectrometry. In this report, we describe the following: the method development and establishment of the detection limits of our techniques, a proof-of-concept study using sera from IL-13 immunized mice, the creation of a workflow named Quality of Antibody Response (QAR), and finally the implementation of this workflow for a therapeutic anti-B-cell activating factor (BAFF) antibody generation campaign to guide the selection of optimal animal donors for hybridoma generation. ./cache/cord-002153-e0zhq18g.txt ./txt/cord-002153-e0zhq18g.txt
