How to Eliminate Non Specific Binding of Antibody Oligo Conjugates

Antibody–oligonucleotide conjugates have emerged as powerful tools for highly multiplexed and amplified protein detection in imaging and sequencing workflows. Yet when single‑stranded DNA (ssDNA) is conjugated to antibodies, non-specific binding can occur.
