Fluorescent-labeled antibodies: Balancing functionality and degree of labeling
S Vira, E Mekhedov, G Humphrey, PS Blank - Analytical biochemistry, 2010 - Elsevier
A critical assumption in using labeled antibodies is that the conjugation reaction has no
deleterious effects on antibody avidity. This study demonstrates that this assumption need not …
