Title: Modification of monoclonal antibodies by polymers possessing chelating properties

Journal Article · · Bull. Exp. Biol. Med. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00840001· OSTI ID:5757973

This paper describes a basically new approach to obtaining diagnostic antibodies, consisting of a one-point modification of the antibody, without loss of its activity, by a high-molecular-weight synthetic polymer with the ability of effectively chelating ions of heavy metals. As a result of this approach, preparations of active antibodies containing some tens of atoms of the metal per protein molecule can be obtained. The concentration of radioactive metal (/sup 111/In) was determined with a gamma-counter and the Mn and Cd concentrations by spectroscopy. Gel-filtration of polymer-modified antibodies after binding of /sup 111/InCl/sub 3/ is shown. Also, solid-phase radioimmunoassay of antibodies and Fab fragments, native and modified by chelating polymers, is presented.
