Thiolating reagent for primary amines; thiol can be deprotected under mild conditions. Typically, couples initially to a molecule containing primary amine by amide bond buffered at pH 7.5. Deprotection may be accomplished with 0.05 M hydroxylamine at neutral pH. Useful for preparation of enzyme immunoconjugates and hapten carrier molecule conjugates.
Other Notes
Note that the ester couples very efficiently to primary amines compared to other thiolating reagents. In addition, this reagent will neutralize original amine positive charge.

Over the last decade, scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques, such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), have played an important role in a variety of biophysical research efforts. This straightforward technique has the capability to measure forces down to a few
We have previously shown that the carrier polytuftsin obtained by polycondensation of tuftsin, a naturally occurring macrophage activator, increases significantly the antibody response against a linked B-epitope. In the present work, we have studied the influence of different cross-linking reagents

The aim of this study was to find a suitable way of coupling the homing-device glu-plasminogen to the outside of liposomes. The described procedure is based on the reaction of thiol-groups introduced in the protein with thiol-reactive groups of the
Immuno-enzymosomes are tumor-specific immunoliposomes bearing enzymes on their surface. These enzymes are capable of converting relatively nontoxic prodrugs into active cytostatic agents. The enzyme beta-glucuronidase (GUS)4 was coupled to the external surface of immunoliposomes directed against ovarian carcinoma cells. This
