Dye-labeled and polymerized antibody and method for preparing the same

摘要

The present invention provides a highly sensitive dye-labeled and polymerized antibody that can detect a target substance even when the target substance has a low concentration. The dye-labeled and polymerized antibody of the present invention comprises a polymerized antibody, which has been polymerized with a polyfunctional reagent, and a cyanine dye for labeling the polymerized antibody represented by the formula (1) given below:where R1 and R2 denote hydrogen or an alkyl group, X denotes a halogen, M denotes hydrogen or an alkali metal, and n represents an integer in a range of 1 to 4.
