Epitope Mapping Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology)

Epitope Mapping Protocols offers more than thirty protocols for antibody production and mapping-all described in detail by leading experts and illustrated by proven examples from their own work. The methods range from those that use (or can use) whole, native antigens to those that use peptides and peptide libraries and those that require antigen expressed from recombinant DNA. A method for T-cell epitopes, instructions on using "natural" variants or mutants, and techniques for producing panels of antibodies for epitope mapping are also included.
