Available computational and experimental approaches for epitope characterization. Next to epitope mapping, several bioinformatics tools exist for epitope prediction. Bioinformatics information sources (blue) give access to different types of information (red). Sequence-based, structure-based and antibody-specific epitope predictors exist that differ regarding the required input data; methods that require more effort usually offer more accurate results
