Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) is generally a very efficient coupling agent. It is the most common carrier protein used in the preparation of hapten conjugates. KLH is composed of five subunits. It is lysine rich with a large number of available primary amines to facilitate conjugation, antibody production and promote peptide attachment after dissociation.
