Epitope mapping of monoclonal antibodies: a comprehensive comparison of different technologies [PDF]
mAbs, 2023 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 ...

State of the art in epitope mapping and opportunities in COVID-19 [PDF]
Future Science OA, 2023 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

Integrating machine learning to advance epitope mapping [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyIdentifying 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 of anti-drug antibodies to a clinical candidate bispecific antibody
mAbs, 2022 Anti-drug antibodies (ADA) can limit the efficacy and safety of therapeutic antibodies. However, determining the exact nature of ADA interactions with the target drug via epitope mapping is challenging due to the polyclonal nature of the IgG response ...

Identification of immunodominant CD4-restricted epitopes co-located with antibody binding sites in individuals vaccinated with ALVAC-HIV and AIDSVAX B/E. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We performed fine epitope mapping of the CD4+ responses in the ALVAC-HIV-AIDSVAX B/E prime-boost regimen in the Thai Phase III trial (RV144). Non-transformed Env-specific T cell lines established from RV144 vaccinees were used to determine the fine ...
