    Abstract: A method of preparing an antibody carrying a universal site-directed coupling interface based on a genetically modified vertebrate is described. The method of constructs a vertebrate model, the vertebrate model is used to produce an antibody carrying a universal site-directed coupling interface. The method includes site-directly knocking in a coding gene of a specific recognition sequence of a certain ligase A or a coding gene of a certain intein A at a certain position A of a certain coding gene A of the immunoglobulin in the genome of the recipient animal, to obtain the vertebrate model. The modified mice can normally stimulate immune responses, produce a polyclonal antibody and a monoclonal antibody with a site-directed linking site. Antibodies with a site-directed linking site can normally carry out site-directed linking, and add various application groups to realize downstream applications of antibodies, such as ELISA, immunofluorescence staining, and immuno-PCR.
