  • Methods and compositions for detecting immune responses
    Patent number: 8703484
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for detecting an antigen-specific hematopoietic cell in a biological sample, wherein the method comprises (a) providing a biological sample comprising a hematopoietic cell of a first species; (b) providing a target cell of a second species, wherein the second species is different from the first species, wherein the second species is a macaque species, and wherein the target cell comprises an antigen; (c) contacting the target cell with the sample; and (d) detecting an immune activation marker or activity in the sample, wherein an increase in expression of the immune activation marker or activity in the sample, relative to a control, is an indication that the sample comprises an antigen-specific hematopoietic cell; and wherein a cell identical to the target cell but lacking the antigen does not stimulate expression of the immune activation marker or activity in hematopoietic cells of the first species.
