Abstract

The present invention relates to technology capable of labeling a certain site of an antibody with a certain number of chemical functional groups or cargo moieties. The present invention may provide an antibody product having high uniformity. The present invention may provide an antibody product whose antibody functions are not degraded. That is, the present invention may provide an antibody product whose antibody binding affinity and half-life are not degraded. The present invention is of great significance as being the first technology allowing site-specific labeling of an antibody without any complicated processes.
