An antibody-enzyme conjugate is prepared having an enzyme to antibody ratio of approximately 3. The conjugate is produced by adding sulfhydryl groups to an antibody and maleimidyl groups to an enzyme to produce a modified antibody and enzyme, and reacting the modified antibody and enzyme to produce the conjugate. In producing the modified antibody and enzyme, about a 15 molar excess of reagents for introducing sulfhydryl and maleimidyl groups is used. When reacting the modified antibody and enzyme, a four molar excess of the modified enzyme is used, and reacting is stopped after a specified period of time by addition of selective reagents. The selective reagents may be cysteine and iodoacetamide. |
