description Fluorescent antibodies have proved to be an invaluable tool for molecular biology and diagnostics. They are routinely produced by modification of lysine residues, which leads to high heterogeneity. As such, their affinity may be compromised if the antigen-binding site is affected, the probability of which increases along with the degree of labeling. In this work, we propose a methodology for the synthesis of site-specific antibody-dye conjugates with a high degree of labeling. To this end, we synthesized two oxyamine-based branched triazide linkers and coupled them with a periodate-oxidized anti-PRAME antibody 6H8; two oxyamine-based linear monoazide linkers of similar structure were used as controls. The azide-labeled antibodies were subsequently conjugated with fluorescent dyes via SPAAC, a copper-free click reaction. Compared to their counterparts made with linear linkers, the branched conjugates possessed a higher degree of labeling. The utility of the methodology was demonstrated in the detection of the PRAME protein on the surface of the cell by flow cytometry.
