SHIKARI® Q-REMS
The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has stated that evidence shows Remsima® (the world's first biosimilar mAb) to be of comparable quality, safety and efficacy as Remicade®. The SHIKARI® Infliximab-Remsima® ELISA has been specially developed for the quantitative analysis of free Infliximab in serum and plasma samples.

The use of Infliximab (Remsima) has been linked to the development of antibodies against the drug at various levels, possibly leading to severe complications and even resistance to the treatment. The SHIKARI® S-AIR ELISA Kit provides a tool for easily monitoring antibodies to Infliximab Remsima and exploring ways of limiting problematic immunoresponses.

SHIKARI® S-AIR(v3) T
Demonstration of anti-infliximab antibodies during treatment with infliximab (Remsima®) has been a major concern for the new technology of biosimilar mAbs, and monitoring for the presence and/or quantitation of specific antibodies during clinical trials is an important issue for follow up evaluations of treatment regimens. With the Matriks Biotek S-AIR-T ELISA Kit infiliximab-specific antibodies that are bound to infiliximab in serum and can not be detected by free antibody detection kits can be determined in patients receiving Remsima®.
