Fucose-specific conjugation of hydrazide derivatives to a vascular-targeting monoclonal antibody in IgG format†
Abstract
We describe a method that enables specific and efficient conjugation of hydrazide-moieties to an IgG targeting the tumor neovasculature. The resulting chemically defined, homogeneous hydrazone-linked IgG conjugates remain immunoreactive and have a half-life of approximately 18 hours at physiological pH and temperature suitable for localized delivery of toxic
