In these pharmacological and diagnostic preparations the active substance is conjugated with a vector which transports the drug to specific biological targets. Monoclonal antibodies are the most commonly used vectors: estimation of their permeability through multilayer and unilayer biomembranes is an important step in the analysis of efficiency of vector drugs.

This approach allows the measurement of optical density (A405) in the peroxidase reaction initiated by the conjugate at different concentrations (C0) of antibodies. Using the Scatchard plots, the dependence of A405/C0 = f (A405) for the whole range of MA concentrations was examined, and the tangential of the slope (tg alpha = Kb) of the linear portion of the antigen molecule was calculated.
