This detailed new edition explores methodologies for the characterization of antibody-antigen interactions tailored to different applications and requirements. Beginning with an overview of key concepts and definitions related to antibody epitopes, the book continues with sections on structural biology methods, display technologies to analyze libraries of proteins or protein arrays, techniques based on protein labeling, as well as computational approaches and binding assays that rely on binding interactions or competition. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and up-to-date, Epitope Mapping Protocols, Fourth Edition serves as an ideal resource for scientists from a wide range of fields involved in critical antibody research.
