Abstract

Site-selective labelling of antibodies (Abs) can circumvent problemsfrom heterogeneity of conventional conjugation. Here, we evaluatethe industrially-applied chemoenzymatic ‘Q-tag’ strategy based ontransglutaminase-mediated (TGase) amide-bond formation in thegeneration of 89Zr-radiolabelled antibody conjugates. We showthat, despite previously suggested high regioselectivity of TGases,in the anti-Her2 Ab Herceptint more precise native MS indicatesonly 70–80% functionalization at the target site (Q298H), in competitionwith modification at other sites, such as Q3H critically close to theCDR1 region.
