Ligand-binding assays have been the primary assay format supporting PK and immunogenicity assessments. Critical and in-depth characterizations of the ligand-binding assay of interest can provide valuable understanding of the limitations, for interpreting PK/PD and immunogenicity results. This review illustrates key challenges with regard to understanding the relationship between anti-drug antibody and PK/PD, including confounding factors associated with the development and validation of ligand-binding assays, mechanisms by which anti-drug antibody impacts PK/PD, factors to consider during data analyses and interpretation, and a perspective on integrating immunogenicity data into the well-established quantitative modeling approach.

  • Issues Facing the Bioanalytical Community
    Bioanalysis Zone ISSUES FACING THE BIOANALYTICAL COMMUNITY Issues Facing The Bioanalytical Community: Highlights From The Bioanalysis Zone Round Table Discussion FOREWORD Dear colleague, It is my pleasure to welcome you to this special Bioanalysis Zone interactive supplement, which has been created to bring you the highlights from our recent Bioanalysis Zone Round Table Discussion on Issues Facing the Bioanalytical Community. Bioanalysis Zone and Bioanalysis organized an independent Roundtable Discussion on 20 April 2016 at Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista, Orlando, Florida, USA, in which bioanalytical experts from Pharmaceutical Companies (Pharma) and Contract Research Organizations (CROs) were brought together to discuss topical issues faced by the quantitative bioanalytical community. Chaired by Neil Spooner (Senior Editor, Bioanalysis), the discussion 2 focused on three key areas. First, the panellists assessed the current situation of outsourcing in bioanalysis, and discussed the direction of outsourcing of regulated bioanalysis in the future. Next, discussions on the divide between investments being made by Pharma and CROs in new bioanalytical techniques and technologies were discussed. Finally, the growing skills gap in bioanalytical laboratories was discussed covering aspects such as: the reality of the skills gap; technical areas is which the skills gap is most apparent; where the skills gap occurs; and how can it be overcome. Having been part of the organizing team, witnessing the discussion unfold was highly informative. It helped my understanding of the depth of issues facing the bioanalytical community and future opportunities to overcome these issues. I am therefore delighted to be able to share this free supplement where you will find highlights from the resulting Round Table Discussion Report published in Bioanalysis and links to footage of the discussion, hosted on Bioanalysis Zone.

In various studies, Raman spectra have been used to identify a particular genus in a group of different types of algae. Each biomolecule has its own signature Raman spectrum. This characteristic signal can be used to identify and characterize the biomolecules in algae. Raman spectrum can be used to identify the components, determine the molecular structure and various properties of biomolecules in algae. With this view, this work presents a comprehensive review of current practices and advancements in Raman spectroscopy of Algae as well as in Raman spectroscopy of component biomolecules of different genus of Algae. Keywords: Raman spectroscopy; Algae; Biomolecule; Bio-analysis; depending on the changes in environmental conditions [3]. Based on Identification such attributes, algae have led to new development in applications such as sensing elements in biosensors [6-15]. Algae cells have also been Introduction used as an aid in controlling water pollution and heavy metal pollution Raman spectroscopy has proven to be a powerful and versatile [10,12,13,15].
