Optimal conditions for the conjugation of carboxyl groups on low molecular weight molecules to reactive amino groups on rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG) using a modified carbodiimide reaction have been investigated. Reaction of [14C]hippuric acid with N-ethyl-N′-(dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide at pH 5 followed by adjustment to pH 8 and coupling with rabbit IgG resulted in the formation of hippuric acid-IgG conjugates with less than 10% intra- and intermolecular IgG crosslinking. More than 93% of the bonds linking hippuric acid to IgG were stable to hydroxylamine hydrolysis, indicating the peptide properties of these bonds. This two-step process permitted a defined number of hippuric acid moieties to be loaded onto a single IgG molecule and should provide a useful method for the conjugation of molecules containing carboxyl groups to amino groups on a variety of polypeptides.
