I always try to perform an assay to distinguish an IgG kappa monoclonal protein from the therapeutic antibody of interest. For daratumumab, the ‘hydra shift’ assay has been used for a while. Now, with Mass spectrometry available, it is the perfect way to assess very sensitively for a residual protei...
