In vivo visualization of cells with fluorescent-labeled fab fragment. by Wee, Armanda Lixuan.

“…Our results showed that mouse IgG and rat IgG displayed differential susceptibility to cleavage by papain, and Protein A columns were unsuitable for the purification of Fab fragments from rat IgG. Mouse Fab fragments labeled with DyLight 650 (DL650) were found to have lower binding avidity and fluorescence intensity when compared to DL650-conjugated IgG. …”
