=== Procedure ===
----

* Take purified monoclonal antibody (e.g. anti-CEACAM, clone 18/20; control IgG1, clone 96/1) and dilute 500 µg antibody in a total of 500 µl PBS.
* Add 50 µl of 1M sodium bicarbonate (pH 8.5) to 500 µl antibody in PBS. Incubate on Mixer at RT.
* Add 50 µl of Pacific Blue (or other dye) (stock aliquots are at 2 mg/ml in DMSO)
* Incubate for 60 min at RT with shaking (protected from light)
* Add 100 µl of STOP buffer, incubate 1 hour at RT with shaking (protected from light)
* Add antibody-dye solution to Float-A-Lyzer G2 dialysis chamber and dialyse o/n at 4°C in 1 liter PBS (keep dark w/ aluminium foil), change PBS twice during the next morning (incubate for a total of 4 h at 4°C).
* Check labeling and protein concentration with spectrofluorometer (Pacific Blue: absMAX= 416nm; emMAX= 451nm)
* Add to the dialyzed, dye-coupled antibody:
* azide (0,05% final conc.), BSA (0.1 mg/ml final conc.), and glycerol (20% final conc.)
* Aliquot in 25 µl aliquots and freeze at -80°C
