Epitope Mapping 

Epitope mapping is the experimental detection of  an antibody binding site on target antigen. Structural analysis, identification, and characterization of antibody-binding properties helps discover and develop drugs, vaccines, and diagnoses. Understanding the binding mechanism of an antibody  can help elucidate its functional effects. Binding kinetics data about an epitope and its antibody can be obtained in real time and without labels with SPR.
