Abstract:
A bivalent binding agent, capable of binding a polypeptide dimer, consisting of two monovalent binders linked to each other via a linker, the first monovalent binder binds an epitope of a first target polypeptide comprised in said dimer and the second monovalent binder binds to an epitope of a second target polypeptide comprised in said dimer. Each monovalent binder has a Kdiss in the range of 5×10−3/sec to 10−4/sec, and the bivalent binding agent has a Kdiss of 3×10−5/sec or less. Methods of making and using such bivalent binding agent in histological staining procedures are also disclosed.
