The epitope substitution scan covers the stepwise substitution of all amino acid positions of the identified epitope with all 20 amino acids. In some cases, an epitope substitution scan can include selected unnatural amino acids, such as D-amino acids or citrulline. There are divided ito two types depending on the number of substituted amino acids used:
Epitope single substitution scanning encompasses a stepwise substitution of all amino acid positions of a given epitope or peptide with all 20 major amino acids and optionally other unnatural amino acids. The microarray we used included all amino acids, and finally, we can get a detailed amino acid map with conserved and variable amino acids.
In contrast to the stepwise exchange in epitope single-substitution scans, epitope double-substitution scanning enables high-throughput screening of epitope variants and mimotopes by exchanging two amino acid positions at a time. The epitope double substitution scan can output a detailed amino acid map. Therefore, epitope double-substitution scanning is a unique solution that can be used to develop and optimize peptide vaccines, peptide mimotopes or protein target binders.

Samples that we can detect include: monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies, hybridoma supernatants, purified antibody components, serum, plasma, and the like.
