1. A method of making an in vivo model for detecting and monitoring anti-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) antibodies and an immune response to antigens recognized by the anti-PEG antibodies, the method comprising:
(a) administering subcutaneously to an animal model a composition comprising at least one commercially available antibody against poly(ethylene glycol) chains with a molecular weight of at least 550 Da, wherein the at least one commercially available antibody is selected from antibody clone 1D9-6, antibody clone 5E10E9, antibody clone 5D6-3, and antibody clone 09F02; and
(b) detecting anti-PEG antibodies within the animal model at a level of at least 44 ng/ml.
