Epitope mapping by surface plasmon resonance in the BIAcore.
An epitope may be defined as a specific site on an antigen module characterized by the binding of one monoclonal antibody (MAb). Epitope mapping by surface plasmon resonance in the BIAcore biosensor may be performed to characterize an antigen or a group of specific MAbs or both. This article describes the BIAcore instrument and methods for such mapping. Examples include molecular interaction studies with simple and complex proteins, such as myoglobin and calprotectin, respectively.
