Conjugation of Antibodies to Horseradish Peroxidase. 2019

Eric A Berg, and Jordan B Fishman

Antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) are one of the most widely used bioreagents in the biological sciences. This protocol is a basic method for adding HRP to a thiolated antibody and can be adapted for use with different cross-linkers. Conjugation methods usually focus on linking through the lysines on HRP because there are only six of them and their modification does not adversely affect enzyme activity.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008301	Maleimides	Derivatives of maleimide (the structural formula H2C2(CO)2NH) containing a pyrroledione ring where the hydrogen atom of the NH group is replaced with aliphatic or aromatic groups.
D006735	Horseradish Peroxidase	An enzyme isolated from horseradish which is able to act as an antigen. It is frequently used as a histochemical tracer for light and electron microscopy. Its antigenicity has permitted its use as a combined antigen and marker in experimental immunology.	Alpha-Peroxidase,Ferrihorseradish Peroxidase,Horseradish Peroxidase II,Horseradish Peroxidase III,Alpha Peroxidase,II, Horseradish Peroxidase,III, Horseradish Peroxidase,Peroxidase II, Horseradish,Peroxidase III, Horseradish,Peroxidase, Ferrihorseradish,Peroxidase, Horseradish
D000906	Antibodies	Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).
D013388	Succinimides	A subclass of IMIDES with the general structure of pyrrolidinedione. They are prepared by the distillation of ammonium succinate. They are sweet-tasting compounds that are used as chemical intermediates and plant growth stimulants.	Butanimides,Pyrrolidinediones
D013440	Sulfides	Chemical groups containing the covalent sulfur bonds -S-. The sulfur atom can be bound to inorganic or organic moieties.	Sulfide,Thioether,Thioethers,Sulfur Ethers,Ethers, Sulfur
