1. Prepareproteinstocksolution(SolutionA):
a. Mix100µLofareactionbuffer(e.g.,1Msodiumcarbonatesolutionor1MphosphatebufferwithpH~9.0)with900µLofthetargetproteinsolution(e.g.antibody,proteinconcentration>2mg/mlifpossible)togive1mLproteinlabelingstocksolution.
b. Note1:ThepHoftheproteinsolution(SolutionA)shouldbe8.5±0.5.IfthepHoftheproteinsolutionislowerthan8.0,adjustthepHtotherangeof8.0-9.0using1Msodiumbicarbonatesolutionor1MpH9.0phosphatebuffer.
c. Note2:Theproteinshouldbedissolvedin1Xphosphatebufferedsaline(PBS),pH7.2-7.4.IftheproteinisdissolvedinTrisorglycinebuffer,itmustbedialyzedagainst1XPBS,pH7.2-7.4,toremovefreeaminesorammoniumsalts(suchasammoniumsulfateandammoniumacetate)thatarewidelyusedforproteinprecipitation.
