Acknowledgments

Measurements of adalimumab serum concentrations were carried out within the CePiBAc platform. CePiBAc was cofinanced by the European Union. Europe is committed to the region Centre with the European Regional Development Fund. This work was partly supported by the French Higher Education and Research ministry under the program ‘Investissements d’avenir’ Grant Agreement: LabEx MAbImprove ANR-10-LABX-53–01. The authors thank Anne-Claire Duveau and Caroline Brochon for technical assistance with adalimumab assays.
