GlyCLICK™
GlyCLICK is a site-specific conjugation technology for antibodies based on enzymatic remodeling of the Fc glycans and click chemistry.
The technology covalently conjugates a label of choice to the Fc domain of the antibody with a degree of label of 2.0, resulting in a homogenous antibody conjugate with preserved antigen binding.
GlyCLICK is available for conjugation of 250 μg of antibody with the following DIBO conjugates: Alexa Fluor® 488, biotin and the chelator DFO. The kit is also available with azide activation-only, for custom conjugation with a cyclooctyne label. This azide activation kit is available for conjugation of 1 x 250 μg and 1 x 10 mg of antibody.

Product Description
GlyCLICK is a unique conjugation technology for site-specific labeling of native antibodies at the N-linked glycans in the Fc domain. The IgG-specific endoglycosidase GlycINATOR (EndoS2) is utilized for its ability to hydrolyze IgG Fc glycans after the core GlcNAc1. Using an engineered galactosyl transferase, GalT(Y289L), a GalNAz residue is subsequently attached to the exposed GlcNAc, resulting in an azide available for a copper-free biocompatible strain-promoted azide-alkyne click-chemistry reaction2 with a cyclooctyne label3.
A wide variety of cyclooctyne labels, such as DIBO-labels (functional groups), can be specifically conjugated to the antibody including drugs, chelators, biotin or fluorophores. Using GlyCLICK, functional groups can be conjugated to the Fc domain of antibodies of several species and a variety of subclasses. The technology results in a ratio of 2 conjugates per antibody with high reproducibility and a low batch-to-batch variation. GlyCLICK is applicable to all IgG antibodies carrying Fc glycans and does not rely on prior engineering of the amino acid sequence.
The applications for the GlyCLICK-technology includes e.g. cytotoxic drug development, in vitro and in vivo cell imaging, immunohistochemistry and western blotting.

How GlyCLICK works
IgG contain a conserved N-linked glycosylation site on the CH2 domain of each heavy chain of the Fc region. This site of the antibody is used by GlyCLICK for selective conjugation of a label of choice. The labeling is performed in three steps:
- Immobilized GlycINATOR (EndoS2) hydrolyzes the N-glycans on the Fc domain of the IgG, leaving the innermost GlcNac residue intact.
- Specific attachment of a GalNAz residue to the core GlcNAc by an engineered galactose transferase (GalT(Y298L)).
- The azide-activated antibody reacts with a DIBO-alkyne label in a strain-promoted, copper-free click chemistry reaction and forms a stable and homogenous antibody conjugate.
Reliable Performance
Robust method that can be used to modify IgGs of many species and subclasses.
Precise and complete conjugation
Site specific conjugation on the Fc domain preserving the antigen binding activity.
