Infliximab Antibodies - From Chris Bundell

Dear All
Thanks go to Chris Bundell from PathWest for his information on availability of these antibodies, as well as some useful references (nice work!)

I have an in house research assay that I use to measure anti infliximab antibodies.  There is also a commercial kit available from Immunodiagnostik.

I have compared my in house assay results with the commercial kit and have a good correlation between the two assays.
