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."

Epitope mapping can be used to identify areas of a protein that an antibody recognizes and binds to. Monoclonal antibodies are easier to characterize, but epitope maps can also be produced for polyclonal antisera.

Autoimmune epitopes: autoepitopes
Autoimmunity Reviews, 2004The identity of reactants for autoantibodies has been successively refined from whole cellular organelles (immunofluorescence), identified molecules (immunoblot; gene expression libraries), epitope regions (truncated cDNAs; peptide scanning) to contact residues, as described here.

Variable expression of the HER2 receptor has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of malignancies. Many therapeutic modalities have been devised that target the receptor and downstream molecular pathways. The humanized monoclonal antibodies trastuzumab and pertuzumab bind epitopes on the extracellular domain, resulting in cell growth ...

We have developed a widely applicable method to construct epitope-peptide gene for epitope-vaccine strategy recently. In this study, we wanted to know whether the predefined spacers between epitopes on a recombinant epitope-peptide impacted the production of epitope-specific antibodies.

T-Cell Epitope Processing (The Epitope Flanking Regions Matter)
2009Epitopes presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules for cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) recognition are derived mainly from cytosolic proteins. Antigen presentation on the cell surface requires correct processing of epitopes by the proteasome, cytosolic and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) aminopeptidases, efficient TAP transport, and

Abstract The previous two chapters described antigenic variation in a single epitope. In this chapter we develop mathematical models of antigenic variation in multiple epitopes. The resulting ‘Multiple epitope theory’ leads to significant refinements in our understanding of the dynamical interaction between genetically variable ...
