Complexes comprising a therapeutic monoclonal antibody and a peptide are provided. In some embodiments, the complexes may comprise a therapeutic monoclonal antibody which is not complexed to an epitope of a target protein and a peptide complexed to the therapeutic monoclonal antibody. In some embodiments, the peptide may have a length of about 5-40 amino acids and may comprise a mimetope recognized by the therapeutic monoclonal antibody, wherein the mimetope comprises a linear sequence of amino acids which is different than a linear sequence of amino acids in the epitope of the target protein.

Methods for detecting antibodies

Methods for detection of any antibody utilizing a standardized approach applicable to any antibody which provides highly specific assays specific for individual or multiple antibodies. The methods enable improved pharmacokinetic analysis during development and clinical use of antibody-based therapies as well as determination of diagnostic and/or prognostic factors.
