Antibodies can be labelled with an enzyme such as horseradish peroxidase using the modified periodate method. A variety of different substrates are available giving soluble or insoluble products depending on the desired application.
Keywords: enzyme labelling; horseradish peroxidase; alkaline phosphate; -galactosidase; urease; glucose oxidase
