Developing the next generation of antibody drug conjugates

Drug Target Review

Site-specific conjugations often necessitate the re-engineering of antibody sequencing to introduce amino acid with a reactive functional group. Alternatively, some purely chemical methods such as “affinity conjugation” also allow the site-specific modifications of antibodies without the need for enzymes or engineering.
