Concept of Shape space

• Basic of antigenic cartography tracks back the concept of "shape space" first propound by Perelson and Oster back in 1979.
• In this concept, antigen and antibody are considered as 'points in an abstract shape space' with their own coordinates which consist of abstract parameters. Distances between those points denote affinity with each other.

Methodology of Antigenic cartography

• The first propounders of Antigenic Cartography were Smith DJ et al. in 2004 by using hemagluttinin inhibition (HI) assay of influenza AH3N2 viruses.
