Conjugation
Antibody conjugation, also known as antibody labeling, is the process of chemically linking an antibody to a specific tag.
Antibody conjugation, or antibody labeling, is a powerful technique that allows the precise targeting and visualization of specific proteins within complex biological systems. The presence and location of target antigens can be tracked with high specificity and sensitivity by linking an antibody to detectable tags or labels, such as fluorophores or enzymes. This process is essential for immuno-based applications like flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and western blotting, where accurate detection is central.
One significant advantage of antibody labeling is its capacity to enable multiplexing, enhance imaging, and support targeted drug delivery. This method is particularly beneficial for investigating cellular processes, identifying biomarkers, and developing targeted therapies for conditions like cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
