PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for modifying an antibody while keeping the activity of two or more specific binding sites of the antibody. SOLUTION: The modification method includes the following steps of: specifically binding a first specific binding site 6 and a second specific binding site 7 with a first protective agent 1 and a second protective agent 2, respectively, by mixing a first magnetic particle 3, a second magnetic particle 4 and an antibody 5, wherein the first magnetic particle 3 has on its surface the first protective agent 1 which specifically binds with the first specific binding site 6, and the second magnetic particle 4 has on its surface the second protective agent 2 which specifically binds with a second specific binding site 7; modifying the antibody 5 with a modifier 8; releasing the first and second protective agents 1 and 2 from the first and second specific binding sites 6 and 7, respectively, by adding a release agent; dividing the antibody 5 from the first magnetic particle 3 and the second magnetic particle 4 by using a magnet; and collecting the divided antibody 5. With this modification method, the modification of the antibody is made while still keeping the activity of two or more specific binding sites of the antibody. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
