After confirming chemical modification of conjugates via UV-Spec and SDS-PAGE independent molecules were used for conjugation and HRP-antibody conjugate. Finally, enzymatic activity of HRP-antibody conjugate was confirmed by performing direct ELISA. Functional properties were analyzed using ELISA with dilution of 1:5000, whereas the conjugate prepared by existing method of conjugation worked with as low dilution of 1:25 with a p value highly significant (<ā0.001) for classical verses modified method of conjugation preparation. Collectively, this study showed the enhanced ability of antibody to bind more number of HRPO with an additional step of lyophilization in the regular conjugation protocol. Future exploration are necessary on wide range of IgG antibodies.
