  • Immune response assessment method
    Publication number: 20060051358
    Abstract: The present invention includes compositions and methods for identifying T-cell epitopes independent of the subject's HLS type by simultaneously analyzing the culture for multiple parameters of immune reactivity to identify at least one epitope wherein the epitopes that elicit immune reactivity of interest in the subset are identified as targeting agents for the subset.
