CellMosaic® has designed this kit to label any IgG antibody with monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) using a valine-citruline p-aminobenzylcarbamate (VC-PAB) linker for early-stage screening of your antibody.
The kit includes maleimide-activated VC-PAB-MMAE, which can be coupled directly to the IgG following reduction and alkylation in a single step (a method developed by Seattle Genetics: Sun et al. 2005, Bioconjugate Chem., 16, 1282-1290). The product is then purified to remove any unreacted drug.
Standard Kit Configuration for CM11409 (Default: 1-3 mg per reaction, 1 Reaction included)
Antibody Amount per Reaction | Number of Reactions in Kit | Catalog Number |
0.1 mg | 1 or 3 | CM11409.01x1 or CM11409.01x3 |
1-3 mg | 1 or 3 | CM11409x1 or CM11409x3 |

Drug Information
- Name: Monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) with MC-Val-Cit-PAB linkage
- CAS number: 646502-53-6
- Mechanism of action: Inhibits cell division by blocking the polymerization of tubulin. VC-PAB linker is stable in extracellular fluid, but cleaved by cathepsin B once inside the tumor cell, thus activating the antimitotic mechanism
- Activities: Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and insecticidal activities
Requirement for Antibody
- Preferably >90% pure by gel electrophoresis
- Total amount: 0.1 mg or 1-3 mg of protein content as measured by UV.
Key Features of this PerKit™
- Simple and efficient labeling of IgG with MMAE, minimizing toxin exposure.
- Features Cathepsin B cleavable VC-PAB linker (Ref. Doronina et. al. 2008, Bioconjugate Chem., 19, 1960-1963)
- Delivers an average of 4 MMAE molecules per antibody.
- Fast preparation: 4 hours total, with less than 1 hour of hands-on time.
- Includes all necessary reagents and supplies for preparation and purification.
- Achieves over 95% conjugation, free from unreacted MMAE.
- Post-conjugation services available at CellMosaic® for HPLC analysis and DAR determination.

ADC Control hIgG1-MMAE (Product #: CM51100): A control ADC made with a non-binding human IgG1 subtype. This product contains an average of 4 MMAE molecules per antibody and has low endotoxin levels, making it suitable for in vitro and in vivo studies.
ADC Control Kit with VC-PAB Linker (Product #: CM11429): A negative control ADC preparation kit utilizing the VC-PAB linker.
Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) Buffer Set (Product#: CM02025): Designed for ADCs prepared via reduced thiols of the antibody, HIC HPLC is used to calculate the Drug-to-Antibody (DAR) and assess ADC heterogeneity. Conjugates are separated based on hydrophobicity, and antibodies with the same DAR will elute as a single peak. For typical MMAE ADCs, multiple peaks represent varying drug loads. The HIC Buffer set is accompanied by a product sheet with all of the information and methodology needed for HIC HPLC analysis. If you lack HPLC access, CellMosaic® offers sample analysis services.
Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) HPLC Protein Standards (Product #: CM92004 and CM92005): SEC HPLC separates the conjugates by apparent molecular weight (MW) or size in an aqueous solution. Larger MW conjugates elute earlier. Comparing SEC profiles of unlabeled IgG and ADCs allows you to estimate aggregation levels. CellMosaic® provides two SEC standards for use with any SEC column. The product sheet includes detalied methodology for running SEC HPLC analysis. If you lack HPLC access, CellMosaic® can perform the analysis for you.
ADC stabilizing PBS buffer (5x) (Product #: CM02022): This buffer contains 5x PBS and other stabilizers to prevent hydrophobic drug interactions during storage, which can cause ADC precipitation. It also preserves ADC structure lyophilization. The buffer is biocompatible and suitable for in vitro and in vivo studies.
