An epitope is defined as the site on an antigen at which an antibody binds. In the case of proteins the epitopes can be classified as continuous (or sequential) and discontinuous according to whether or not the amino acids recognized are close together in the primary sequence or are well-separated but brought together by the folding of the protein. The

Epitope mapping of human thyrotropin [PDF]
Acta Endocrinologica, 1989 Abstract. Epitope mapping of hTSH was carried out using 19 monoclonal antibodies prepared with hTSH or its β-subunit as antigen. The affinity constants of the monoclonal antibodies ranged from 9.6 × 107 to 5.7 × 109 mol/l for hTSH. The binding activities of monoclonal antibodies were maintained or in some cases rather enhanced after removal of the ...

Methods of epitope mapping [PDF]
Molecular Biology Reports, 1992 It is important to remember that the merits of the different approaches to epitope mapping should be judged against the purpose of the study. A peptide specifically recognized by nearly all sera containing a certain autoimmune specificity [20, 21, 26], would most likely be selected for the detection of the anti-linear/continuous epitope fraction among ...

Development of a Novel Epitope Mapping System: RIEDL Insertion for Epitope Mapping Method
Monoclonal Antibodies in Immunodiagnosis and Immunotherapy, 2021To clarify the binding region of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to target molecules, it is very essential to understand the pharmacological function of each mAb. Although deletion mutants and point mutants are usefully utilized for epitope mapping, we often experience the difficulty of determining the mAb epitope against membrane proteins.

Computational Epitope Mapping [PDF]
, 2009 Despite its unequivocal benefits to humankind, vaccine design and development has always been an inherently laborious and a largely empirical process; the unfortunate lack of a rational basis for vaccinology has hitherto stymied the commercial exploitation of vaccine discovery and also the deployment of vaccination as the principal, global instrument ...

Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) are specific immunological tools because they bind to a precise determinant (the epitope) on the surface of a protein. The procedure of identifying the binding site of a MAb is often termed "epitope mapping."

Mass spectrometric epitope mapping
Mass Spectrometry Reviews, 2016Mass spectrometric epitope mapping has become a versatile method to precisely determine a soluble antigen's partial structure that directly interacts with an antibody in solution. Typical lengths of investigated antigens have increased up to several 100 amino acids while experimentally determined epitope peptides have decreased in length to on average ...

An Introduction to Epitope Mapping
2018Antibodies are protein molecules used routinely for therapeutic, diagnostic, and research purposes due to their exquisite ability to selectively recognize and bind a given antigen. The particular area of the antigen recognized by the antibody is called the epitope, and for proteinaceous antigens the epitope can be of complex nature.

Mapping Epitopes by Phage Display
2023Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are valuable biological molecules, serving for many applications. Therefore, it is advantageous to know the interaction pattern between antibodies and their antigens. Regions on the antigen which are recognized by the antibodies are called epitopes, and the respective molecular counterpart of the epitope on the mAbs is ...
