Antibody Validation

Ensure precision and efficacy in research and therapeutics development


Antibodies play a crucial role in both research and therapeutic applications. Due to their abilitiy to specifically bind antigens, they are indispensable tools in various scientific disciplines, including immunology, biochemistry, and molecular biology. In therapeutic contexts, antibodies are utilized to target and neutralize specific pathogens or diseased cells. Given their significance, it is vital to thoroughly characterize antibodies to ensure their efficacy and specificity. This involves assessing their antigen-binding properties, identifying epitopes, and evaluating specificity and cross-reactivity.

We offer a number of solutions for antibody validation and in-depth analysis of epitopes for a wide range of antibody formats and isotypes.

PEPperCHIP® Peptide Microarrays: A powerful tool for antibody analysis

Our PEPperCHIP® Platform Technology allows for the direct synthesis of thousands of peptides on glass slides, enabling high-throughput screening and detailed amino acid-level analysis of antibody interactions at minimal cost.

Epitope Mapping

Epitope mapping is essential for identifying the exact binding sites of antibodies on their target antigens. PEPperCHIP® Peptide Microarrays allow for epitope identification at the amino acid level, providing detailed insights into antibody-antigen interactions. This information is critical for understanding the molecular basis of antibody specificity, designing effective therapeutics and diagnostic tools, and even protection of intellectual property.

Antibody Cross-Reactivity Analysis

Determining antibody specificity is crucial to avoid off-target effects in both research and clinical settings. PEPperCHIP® Peptide Microarrays can be used to screen and evaluate the binding of antibodies against a wide range of peptides, identifying potential cross-reactivities. This can ensure that antibodies are highly specific to their intended targets, enhancing the reliability of experimental results and the safety of therapeutic applications.

Epitope Substitution Scan

Epitope substitution scans using PEPperCHIP® Peptide Microarrays identifies conserved and variable amino acid positions within epitopes. By systematically substituting each amino acid in the epitope with all other amino acids, we determine which residues are critical for antibody binding. This information is invaluable for optimizing antibody or therapeutic peptide design and for understanding the structural basis of antigen recognition.

Antigen and Epitope Discovery

PEPperCHIP® Peptide Microarrays are an ideal tool for antigen and epitope discovery. Thanks to its high density content and scalability, we can screen for novel antigens and epitopes across large peptide libraries, facilitating the discovery of new biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This application is ideal for vaccine development, diagnostic assay design, and biomarker identification.
