Is there any way of determining which region of a protein will be favourable for raising antibodies?
There are various programs, including both internet and in-house programs which can be used to identify regions within a protein that may be more favourable for the raising antipeptide antibodies. Our in-house program called Preditop is based on secondary structure determinations and have proved to be very helpful in identifying suitable regions in proteins which have resulted in successful polyclonal antibodies. Mimotopes also has a helpful guide which is a comprehensive guide to raising antipeptide antibodies. Please contact us for a free copy.
