Patent attributes
An antibody comprising a GlcNAc—S(A)x substituent is disclosed, wherein S(A)x is a sugar derivative comprising x functional groups A wherein A is independently selected from the group consisting of an azido group, a keto group and an alkynyl group and x is 1, 2, 3 or 4, wherein said GlcNAc—S(A)x substituent is bonded to the antibody via C1 of the N-acetylglucosamine of said GlcNAc—S(A)x substituent, and wherein said N-acetylglucosamine is optionally fucosylated. Also disclosed is an antibody-conjugate, in particular to an antibody-conjugate according to the Formula (20) or (20b), wherein AB is an antibody, S is a sugar or a sugar derivative, D is a molecule of interest, and wherein said N-acetylglucosamine is optionally fucosylated (b is 0 or 1).
