SDS-PAGE of (A) SE-HPLC-isolated ICG-sOSu-panitumumab conjugates
and aggregates, and (B) reaction mixture, under nonreducing and reducing
conditions with β-mercaptoethanol. Panitumumab served as a reference.
Colloidal blue protein staining and optical imaging were performed:
M, marker; 1, intact panitumumab antibody; 2, 1; 3, 2; 4, 3; 5, ICG-sOSu aggregates (from 20×
reaction, peak with RT = 12.5 min); 6, ICG-sOSu aggregates (from 20×
reaction, peak with RT = 14.5 min); 7, ICG-sOSu-panitumumab reaction
mixture (10×, without purification); 8, ICG-sOSu alone incubated
in conjugation buffer for 1 h at 37 °C as a control. White arrow:
heavy chain; yellow arrow: light chain; blue arrow: free dye.
