a apparent activity of mAb (expressed as a percent of its nominal concentration) as determined via Biacore’s CFCA or the KinExA’s fitted LCM converted into percent activity (where LCM of 1 = 100%). The 95% confidence interval of the KinExA fit is shown in parentheses.

b in undiluted serum

c KD ratio of serum antigen/recombinant antigen

d the difference in apparent KD values between purified recombinant antigen and serum antigen is pH-influenced

n = the number of independent titration curves incorporated in the global fitnd = not determined
