What is a Biosimilar antibody?

A Biosimilar antibody is a non-therpeutic, recombinantly-expressed antibody which has the same sequence as the corresponding therapeutic antibody. It is for research use only. The nomenclature of the Biosimilar antibody includes the name of the therapeutic antibody. For example, Catalog # MAB9577 is called Human EGFR (Research Grade CetuxiMab Biosimilar) antibody.

Does this Biosimilar antibody have the same sequence as its corresponding therapeutic antibody?

This Biosimilar antibody has the same variable region sequence as the therapeutic antibody, but the constant region is not the same. It contains a proprietary human IgG constant region.

Background: EGFR

Cetuximab is a biosimilar directed against the extracellular domain of EGFR. This product constitutes the immunogen used for the anti-Idiotype catalog number MAB9626. The biotinylated antibody (catalog number FAB9577B) can be used in flow cytometry or various assay format to measure EGFR expression and can be detected by conjugated streptavidin.
