Cross-competition or epitope binning assays on the Octet HTX system
23 Apr 2020Epitope binning is a term used to describe segmentation of a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) into bins based upon the antigen region, or epitope, bound by each antibody. This grouping is performed using cross-competition assays, in which the competitive binding of antibody pairs to a specific antigen is characterized. The Octet HTX system is a powerful platform to perform high-throughput binning assays in a matter of a few hours. In this application note, ForteBio shows how the Octet HTX system is ideally suited to performing epitope binning/cross-competition assay due to its high-throughput and powerful software features.

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.Monoclonal AntibodiesMonoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are lab-made molecules that can bind to specific antigens on cells, making them highly effective in treating cancers, autoimmune diseases, and infections. These targeted therapies are transforming the treatment landscape for many conditions.
