ePitope Informatics is an applied bioinformatics company providing in silico services for epitope discovery, related protein modelling and protein annotation. A particular focus is epitope prediction for the identification and targeting of antibody epitopes.

Our specialist expertise and experience, spanning nearly two decades.

An epitope discovery platform utilising consensus epitope prediction, contextual analysis and related protein annotation.

Flexible services, which can be tailored to incorporate:

Significant savings of your time.

Quick, easy-to-use Internet-based service provision.

Competitive pricing structure.

Respect of your privacy and confidentiality of your information.

Commercial services update

Our no obligation online quotation request form allows you to choose antibody epitope prediction and related service options for in silico analysis and annotation of target proteins of interest. More easily, you can tailor our service to suit your needs.

New graphics workstations and stereoscopic 3-D viewing  hardware (StereoGraphics/RealD and, more recently, NVIDIA), for use with our molecular modelling platform that includes Discovery Studio software from Accelrys, allows our introduction of enhanced molecular analysis and modelling services for antibody epitope prediction and mapping to protein 3-D structure. This includes identification and characterisation of both linear and discontinuous ("conformational") epitopes and protein comparative modelling services.

Our epitope prediction and analysis services are offered with a competitive pricing structure, and our Internet-based utilities for secure service delivery are provided free of charge.

A detailed service e-Report (using secure e-document delivery) incorporating publication quality graphics and high quality annotation of output data.

Online quotation request, ordering, enquiry, support and feedback facilities.

Regularly updated site links and literature reference resources, and informational content related to protein analysis, annotation and antibody epitope prediction.

Currently, we do not provide services for T cell epitope prediction, but we provide links to online and other software resources such as Microsoft Research's Epitope Predictor (also from a Wiki page).

 HUMAN PROTEIN ATLAS

 The Human Protein Atlas is an open, freely accessible resource for
 systematic exploration of the human proteome characterised by
 antibody proteomics (courtesy of The Swedish Human Proteome
 Resource (HPR) program). Antibodies are used for protein profiling,
 and the Human Protein Atlas shows expression and localization of
 proteins in a wide variety of normal human tissues and cancer cells,
 and is part of the HUPO Human Antibody Initiative (HAI).
