Epitope binning of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies by biolayer interferometry

K Nagashima, JJ Mousa - Computational Vaccine Design, 2023 - Springer
Understanding the epitopes of antibodies elicited by infection and vaccination is often useful
in immunogen design. In this chapter, we describe biolayer interferometry (BLI)-based …
