N-Maleimidobutyryloxysuccinimide ester

GMBS, N-Maleimidobutyryloxysuccinimide ester

• Low potential for eliciting an immune response, ensuring that the primary response is to the antigen-carrier protein conjugate and not against a determinant on the crosslinker.
• Less immunogenic than SMCC
• Reactive groups: NHS ester and maleimide
• Reactive toward: amino and sulfhydryl groups
