Advances in Monoclonal Antibody Epitope Analysis Technology
Known for their unparalleled ability to specifically target antigens,monoclonal antibodies have become indispensable in biomedicine.Their precision in recognizing antigens is critical for the treatment of diseases and the development of vaccines.A thorough understanding of the epitopes bound by these antibodies is essential to elucidate the mechanisms underlying antibody-antigen interactions.This knowledge serves as a cornerstone for optimizing the development of antibody-based therapeutics and vaccines.The field has been greatly advanced by the development of techniques for monoclonal antibody epitope analysis,including methods such as alanine scanning,peptide microarrays,domain swapping,X-ray crystallography,and cryo-electron microscopy.This article provides a comprehensive assessment of these techniques,weighing the strengths and limitations of each.Its objective is to guide researchers in selecting the most appropriate approach to monoclonal antibody epitope analysis and to promote further advances in this important area of biomedical research.
