Bioactivity Comments
The development of blinatumomab is covered by patent US7635472 [5], based on peptide sequence matches of the two antigen-binding variable heavy chains regions of blinatumomab. In this patent specificity and efficacy of blinatumomab binding was determined by FACS analysis and ELISA. However, the specific clone producing blinatumomab is not reported, nor are binding affinity values for antibody-antigen interactions
