Binding Analysis Services: A Concise Overview

Assays to Address All Binding Questions

Affinity Measurement

Antibody affinity defines the strength of interaction between an antibody and its target, which can directly impact the efficacy and specificity of therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Accurate measurement of antibody affinity is critical for lead selection, characterization of biologics, and biosimilar comparison. Our services use a combination of established gold-standard platforms such as Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI), and ELISA-based assays to measure kinetic parameters (Ka, Kd) and equilibrium binding constants (KD) for a broad range of antibody formats.

  • High-sensitivity SPR and high-throughput BLI platforms
  • KD values in pM to µM range for soluble and membrane-bound targets
  • Perfect for lead optimization, affinity maturation, or biosimilar comparison
  • Label-free detection and real-time binding curves
  • Supports IgG, Fab, scFv, VHH, bispecifics, and Fc-fusion formats

Paratope Mapping

Paratope mapping is a technique used to identify specific residues in the antibody that are involved in antigen binding. Our paratope mapping services for antibodies use a combination of epitope-guided alanine scanning mutagenesis, cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS), and hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDX-MS) techniques to determine the precise binding regions of antibodies at an atomic level.

  • Determines key binding residues within Complementarity-Determining Regions (CDRs)
  • Supports antibody engineering and affinity maturation strategies
  • Supported for Fab, scFv, VHH, and IgG formats
  • Mutagenesis combined with computational modeling upon request
  • Supported by publication-ready structural analysis reports

Monoclonal Antibody Epitope Binning

Epitope binning is a classification technique that groups a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) based on their ability to compete with each other for binding to a shared antigen target. It's typically done by measuring the binding activity of each antibody in the presence of other antibodies from the same panel, in a competitive binding assay.

  • Cluster antibodies into distinct binding groups rapidly
  • Detect antibodies with overlapping vs. non-overlapping epitopes
  • Support 96+ antibodies per campaign with automated workflows
  • Ideal for early-stage screening or MoA differentiation
  • Easy-to-interpret binning maps and heatmaps delivered with each campaign

CreMap™ Epitope Mapping & Discovery

CreMap™ is a high-throughput technology platform for epitope discovery developed and optimized for mapping linear epitopes. Using a tiled peptide library display of the entire antigen sequence, phage display, and mass spectrometry, CreMap™ can rapidly determine immunodominant regions across different species.

  • High-throughput system for mapping linear B-cell epitopes rapidly
  • Tiled peptide display of full-length antigen sequences
  • ELISA, phage display, and MS combine for confirmatory results
  • Ideal for immunodominance ranking and cross-reactivity studies
  • Flexible for viral, bacterial, cancer, and autoimmune targets

Membrane Proteome Array (MPA) Based Specificity Profiling

Membrane Proteome Array (MPA) platform is used to screen antibodies against a library of over 6,000 human membrane proteins, which are expressed on live human cells in their full-length, functional forms. The MPA platform can be used to comprehensively characterize antibody specificity and screen for off-target interactions.

  • Over 6,000 full-length, functional membrane proteins
  • Detects unintended cross-reactivity and off-target interactions
  • High-content screening format, ideal for therapeutic antibodies
  • Validated and used by global pharma for antibody lead selection
  • Supports post-discovery risk mitigation and patent defense

Frequently Asked Questions

What sample formats do you accept for binding analysis?

We’re flexible! Whether you have purified antibody, hybridoma supernatant, or even an expression construct, we can work with it. Just let us know the concentration and volume, and our technical team will confirm the best format for your selected assays.

Do I need to know the structure of my antigen before using CreMap™ or paratope mapping?

Not at all. While structural information can enhance interpretation, it's not a prerequisite. Our CreMap™ system uses tiled linear peptide libraries to probe your antibody's epitope space, even when the antigen is unknown or hard to express. Similarly, for paratope mapping, we can perform alanine scanning, HDX-MS, or XL-MS directly on the antibody, independent of antigen structural data.

We’re working with a bispecific antibody, can you analyze both arms separately?

Yes, we have extensive experience with bispecifics, dual-variable-domain antibodies, and other complex modalities. We can design assays that isolate the binding of each arm—either through sequential binding in SPR/BLI, competitive assays, or using distinct antigen immobilization strategies. This is particularly useful for confirming correct arm pairing, valency effects, and minimizing unwanted cross-reactivity.

Can Creative Biolabs support regulatory filings with your data?

Definitely. Our assays are conducted under standardized SOPs, and our reports are formatted to meet regulatory expectations. Many clients use our affinity, binning, and specificity data in pre-IND, IND, or BLA submissions. We provide raw datasets, analysis scripts (on request), and publication-quality figures.

Do you offer follow-up engineering or optimization services after binding analysis?

We sure do. Once you have your binding data, we can support further antibody engineering, such as affinity maturation, humanization, or Fc engineering. Many clients transition directly into our optimization pipelines after completing binding characterization.
