Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for generating an antibody-payload conjugate by means of a microbial transglutaminase (MTG). The method comprises a step of conjugating a linker having a primary amine residue, said linker having the peptide structure (shown in N->C direction) (Aax)m-(Aax)(NH2)-(Aax)n-B-(Aax)o, or (Aax)m-B-(Aax)n-(Aax)(NH2)-(Aax)o, to a Gln residue comprised in the heavy or light chain of an antibody. Aax(NH2) is an amino acid, amino acid derivative or amino acid mimetic comprising a side chain having a primary amine group.
