摘要
This invention discloses “Artificially Cleaved Epitope (ACE)” methods, antibodies, reagents, immunoassays, and kits for designing and detecting hidden epitopes/antigens. The ACE methods can detect epitopes that are either absent or poorly accessible naturally to antibodies, and thus must be specifically and artificially created (free terminals) and/or exposed in samples and sample preparations for antibody detection. The ACE structures include, but are not limited to, macromolecule-to-macromolecule conjugation sites, and any types of linear hidden epitopes. The ACE methods comprise ACE antigen design and ACE antigen detection. The ACE methods, antibodies, reagents, immunoassays, and kits are useful in research and discovery, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications. In another aspect, the ACE methods can artificially and specifically expose hidden antigens while reducing the antibody non-specific bindings in all antibody-based applications.
