Functionalization Strategies for Antibodies: Lessons Learned

[摘要] Precious little is known about useful functionalization strategies of antibodies that will not impair either reactivity or specificity of this valuable reagent. We used an experimental approach to demonstrate our own experience with published protocols. The conjugates obtained were then tested with regard to their performance against commercially available detection kits. Our results are then viewed in light of published precedence to highlight areas where future effort is needed to refine such versatile tools.
