Blocking Strategies

1. “ABC” sandwiches where A does not bind C directly2. Choose assay orientation and surface chemistry3. Run proper controls, e.g., buffer, irrelevant partner, “self-sandwich”4. Where a mAb binds is often more important than its KD

1. Each strategy has its pro’s and con’s2. Consider MW and aggregation state of Ag3. Improve unattended throughput by preparing surfaces offline using

“batch immobilization”4. Can often transfer known regeneration cocktail from Biacore

Summary

1. The Octet is a simple, yet versatile complement to Biacore2. “One-shot” kinetics provides an appealing assay format3. Returns accurate kinetic rate constants for a wide range of

interactions when compared head-to-head with Biacore4. The direct binding of small molecules is beyond the current

detection limit5. Well-suited to blocking, especially in the context of epitope

binning
