description:
The epitope is repeated exactly at residues 74-80 and repeated at residues 58-64 and 82-88 with a Ser to Gly substitution at position 6.
Epitope mapping was performed using a library of 100 overlapping dodecamers, shifted by 2 amino acids, spanning residues 23-232 of the mature mouse prion protein. The epitope of MAbs POM2 and POM12 was deduced based on the ability of dodecamers to inhibit binding of the antibody to mouse PrP(23-230). MAbs POM2 and POM12 bound to peptides containing the repetitive epitope found at residues 58-64, 66-72, 74-80, and 82-88.
