Abstract
Epitope mapping represents a powerful tool not only for basic research but also for therapeutic applications. The knowledge of the exact binding site of antibodies on their antigens could ease the development of new vaccination strategies against pathogens. Furthermore, these insights could be used for the development of new therapeutic approaches to remove pathogenic autoantibodies from the serum of autoimmune patients.
