State of the art in epitope mapping and opportunities in COVID-19 [PDF]
The understanding of any disease calls for studying specific biological structures called epitopes. One important tool recently drawing attention and proving efficiency in both diagnosis and vaccine development is epitope mapping. Several techniques have

Identification of a new epitope in uPAR as a target for the cancer therapeutic monoclonal antibody ATN-658, a structural homolog of the uPAR binding integrin CD11b (αM). [PDF]
The urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) plays a role in tumor progression and has been proposed as a target for the treatment of cancer. We recently described the development of a novel humanized monoclonal antibody that targets uPAR and has ...

Epitope mapping of monoclonal antibodies: a comprehensive comparison of different technologies [PDF]
Monoclonal antibodies have become an important class of therapeutics in the last 30 years. Because the mechanism of action of therapeutic antibodies is intimately linked to their binding epitopes, identification of the epitope of an antibody to the ...

Characterization and epitope mapping of human monoclonal antibodies to PDC-E2, the immunodominant autoantigen of primary biliary cirrhosis [PDF]
Further to define the epitopes of PDC-E2, the major autoantigen in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), we have developed and characterized five human monoclonal antibodies. These antibodies were derived by fusing a regional hepatic lymph node from a patient

An Introduction to B-Cell Epitope Mapping and In Silico Epitope Prediction [PDF]
Identification of B-cell epitopes is a fundamental step for development of epitope-based vaccines, therapeutic antibodies, and diagnostic tools. Epitope-based antibodies are currently the most promising class of biopharmaceuticals. In the last decade, in-

Integrating machine learning to advance epitope mapping [PDF]
Identifying epitopes, or the segments of a protein that bind to antibodies, is critical for the development of a variety of immunotherapeutics and diagnostics. In vaccine design, the intent is to identify the minimal epitope of an antigen that can elicit

Epitope Mapping and Tagging by Recombination PCR Mutagenesis
We describe a rapid PCR method that directly inserts an epitope tag into an open reading frame (ORF) to facilitate protein detection. This project was performed within a varicella-zoster virus (VZV) system.
