How is an antibody epitope determined?

This is done via epitope mapping. The antibody in question is first tested against different protein fragments and peptides. Once the amino acids detected by the antibody are determined, the surrounding amino acids can be exchanged to reveal the influence of the environment on the detection of a specific epitope.
