AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing methods for forming metal-protein conjugates for mass spectrometry and flow cytometry are limited in their efficiency and versatility, particularly in the use of mercury-chelated triazole-containing antibody complexes.

Method used

The formation of metal-protein conjugates is facilitated through the use of mercury-chelated triazole-containing antibody complexes, where mercury binds directly to the protein or is attached via a linker portion, enabling stable and versatile complexes for mass spectrometry and flow cytometry applications.

Benefits of technology

The proposed method enhances the stability and versatility of metal-protein conjugates, improving their performance in mass spectrometry and flow cytometry by forming robust and effective complexes.

Abstract

Metal-protein conjugates for use in mass cytometry and methods of making the same are provided. The metal-protein conjugates may have a metal directly bound to the protein, or have a metal attached to the protein through a linking moiety. The metal-protein conjugates include mercury-chelated triazole-containing antibody complexes and methods of their formation from derivatized antibodies and sulfonyl azides.
