Protocols for PE Conjugation...

We have a protocol for PE conjugation in Current Protocols in
Immunology, Vol 1, Unit 5.3 that gives the method for PE conjugation to
antibodies using the heterobifunctional cross-linker, GMBS. It also
gives advice, other references and pointers.

Hope it helps.

Hello everybody out there,

Having problems to conjugate a hamster mAb to Phycoerythrine, I'm curious
to know if there are different protocols out there for custom direct
conjugation of antibodies to PE. Are there species specific problems
(hamster vs mouse or rat mAbs) ?? I'd be happy about any protocols or hints
to improve our success... (PE is a bit too expensive for trial and
error...).

I'm also interested in other custom conjugation of fluorescent markers
(APC, PerCP, Cy5, etc...), as well as eventual suppliers of the necessary
reagents.

Thanks very much already in advance...

Matthias
