Hybrid LC-MS/MS is a technique that combines an affinity capture step with LC-MS/MS detection. It typically requires only one antibody, in contrast to conventional ligand-binding assays (LBAs), which usually need two. This approach leverages the combined selectivity of affinity extraction and the analytical power of tandem mass…

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have been conventionally developed for a wide range of oncological applications since the first ADC approval in 2000 by the FDA. Typically, an ADC consists of three main components: antibody, linker conjugate, and therapeutic drug (payload). The mechanism of an ADC involves the antibody binding to a specific…
