The present invention provides a technique enabling modification of an antibody, particularly regioselective modification of an antibody. More specifically, the present invention provides a compound having an affinity substance to an antibody and a bioorthogonal functional group, represented by the following Formula (I):
A-L-E-B (I)
wherein
A is an affinity substance to an antibody,
L is a divalent group comprising a leaving group,
E is a divalent group comprising an electrophilic group (i) coupled with the leaving group and (ii) having ability to react with a nucleophilic group in the antibody,
B is a bioorthogonal functional group, and
the leaving group has ability to be cleaved and eliminated from E by a reaction between the nucleophilic group and the electrophilic group, or a salt thereof, and the like.
