Abstract
Background: This study compared the performance of plasma infliximab and adalimumab quantification using a commercially available kit (mAbXmise kit) and mass spectrometry readout to that of two ELISA methods in patients treated for inflammatory bowel disease. Methods & results: The mAbXmise method based on liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was linear from 2 to 100 μg/ml. It was validated according to international guidelines. Regarding cross-validation for infliximab (n = 70), the mean bias with LC-MS/MS assay was approximately threefold higher with the commercial ELISA assay compared with the in-house ELISA (-6.1 vs -1.8 μg/ml, respectively). The mean bias between the LC-MS/MS assay and in-house ELISA was -1.2 μg/ml for adalimumab (n = 35). Conclusion: The LC-MS/MS method is a powerful alternative to immunoassays to monitor concentrations of infliximab and adalimumab.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Monoclonal gammopathies (MGs) are plasma cell disorders defined by the clonal expansion of plasma cells, resulting in the characteristic excretion of a monoclonal immunoglobulin (M-protein). M-protein detection and quantification are integral parts of the diagnosis and monitoring of MGs. Novel treatment modalities impose new challenges on the traditional electrophoretic and immunochemical methods that are routinely used for M-protein diagnostics, such as interferences from therapeutic monoclonal antibodies and the need for increased analytical sensitivity to measure minimal residual disease. CONTENT Mass spectrometry (MS) is ideally suited to accurate mass measurements or targeted measurement of unique clonotypic peptide fragments. Based on these features, MS-based methods allow for the analytically sensitive measurement of the patient-specific M-protein. SUMMARY This review provides a comprehensive overview of the MS methods that have been developed recently to detect, characterize, and quantify M-proteins. The advantages and disadvantages of using these techniques in clinical practice and the impact they will have on the management of patients with MGs are discussed.
