title: Heterobifunctional cross-linking of a monoclonal antibody with 2-methyl-N1-benzenesulfonyl-N4-bromoacetylquinonediimide.
abstract: The Cyssor reagent, 2-methyl-N1-benzenesulfonyl-N4-bromoacetylquinonediimide, which will cleave a protein chain at Cys under acidic conditions, cross-linked unreduced and partially reduced antibody at pH 8.0. No cleavage of the antibody occurred suggesting that the Cyssor reagent may be useful with certain proteins as a heterobifunctional cross-linker.
