Epitope characterization shapes antibody science. Biointron outlines how mapping epitopes advances research, design, and development of therapeutic antibodies.

AI is transforming antibody design. Biointron explores computational methods that accelerate drug discovery and optimize therapeutic development.

Fc-mediated antibody effector functions play an important role in the humoral immune response and form a necessary link between innate and adaptive immunity. The constant (Fc) region is the tail portion of an antibody that interacts with other components of the immune system, such as immune cells and complement proteins. Well-known functions include opsonization, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and complement activation.
