Rapid fine conformational epitope mapping using comprehensive mutagenesis and deep sequencing

By combining fluorescence activated cell sorting, yeast surface display, and next generation sequencing we present and validate an experimental pipeline that determines conformational epitopes. We determine the epitopes for multiple antigen-antibody interactions and compare our findings with previously reported X-ray crystallography data.
