\subsection{Sample preparation}
***This subsection needs to be checked (+Eylea).***
***should we not also mention the labelled IgG and BSA here?***
Ranibizumab and bevacizumab solutions were dialysed twice against phosphate buffered saline
(PBS) (PBS, pH
7.4 7.4) using D-Tube Midi Dialyzer units
from Novagen (6-8~kD cut-off). with a 6-8kD cut-off (Novagen). Subsequently, the purity of the dialysed proteins was checked by standard
SDS-PAGE. SDS-PAGE and confirmed to correspond to the manufacturer's purity values for the proteins. The proteins were then conjugated to the fluorophore Bis(2,2′-bipyridine)-4′-methyl-4-carboxybipyridine-ruthenium bis(hexafluorophosphate) (synonym, N-succinimidyl ester-Ru(bpy)2(mcbpy-O-Su-ester)(PF6)2)(Sigma-Aldrich) by using a
succinimidyl N-succinimidyl ester-modified fluorophore
(NHS-fluorophore) with a short linker (Invitrogen, F6130). Conjugation reactions were performed in PBS adjusted with
1M bicine buffer to pH 8.6 at
2~mg/ml 2mg/ml protein concentration
in the dark at room temperature with the
activated fluorophore ester NHS-fluorophore being used
in at 2-fold molar excess. The reaction was stopped after
two hours 2.5h and conjugated proteins were separated from remaining free dye by size exclusion chromatography
(7~kD (Zeba(R) spin columns with a 7kD cut-off; Thermo Fisher). Using this method we generated ranibizumab conjugated to dye with a dye:protein ratio of 1.1:1 and bevacizumab with a dye:protein ratio of 1.3:1.
Azide (2.0~mM) Sodium azide was added to all fluorophore-conjugated drugs
at a final concentration of 2.0mM to protect
them the protein solution from
any microbial deterioration.
