AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing protein conjugation methods result in chemical damage to the antibody and luciferase ends, leading to low conjugation efficiency and failing to meet the requirements for high detection signals and high detection sensitivity. In particular, in biotinylation labeling applications, biotinylation of antibodies or other target proteins may be accompanied by activity impairment or inactivation of the labeled protein due to over-labeling.

Method used

The target protein is specifically cross-linked with biotin compounds using an NHS removal reaction to generate a protein-biotin cross-linked complex. This complex then combines with the biotin-streptavidin system for multivalent binding and signal amplification, thereby improving detection sensitivity.

Benefits of technology

It improves protein coupling efficiency, reduces protein damage, enables cascade amplification of signals, and enhances detection sensitivity and accuracy.
