ABSTRACT
Gyrolab® is an open immunoassay platform that automates the complete immunoassay protocol in a microfluidic disc. The column profiles generated with Gyrolab immunoassays are used to gain more information about biomolecular interactions that can be useful in assay development or quantify analytes in samples. Gyrolab immunoassays can be used to cover a broad concentration range and diversity of matrices in applications ranging from biomarker monitoring, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics studies, to bioprocess development in many areas, including therapeutic antibodies, vaccines, and cell and gene therapy.This chapter is an overview of Gyrolab technology, including system components and the assay development workflow, including the process of selecting affinity reagents, Gyrolab Bioaffy CDs, and assay conditions to optimize immunoassays. Two case studies are included. The first involves an assay for the humanized antibody pembrolizumab used in cancer immunotherapy that can generate data for pharmacokinetics studies. The second case study involves quantification of the biomarker and biotherapeutic interleukin-2 (IL-2) in human serum and buffer. IL-2 has been implicated in the cytokine storm associated with COVID-19, and cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which can occur during chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CART) therapy used in treating cancer. These molecules also have therapeutic relevance in combination.
