  • Method for determining the cell mediated immune competence of a subject
    Patent number: 11112401
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the cell mediated immune competence of a subject. The method comprises conducting a cell-mediated immunoassay (CMI) on a sample comprising immune cells from a subject. The method further comprises detecting in vitro an immune response to a pool of peptides, wherein the pool of peptides is derived from at least three viral antigens.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 27, 2017
    Date of Patent: September 7, 2021

    Inventor: Scott Tasker
  • proteins
    Patent number: 10295538
    Abstract: The present invention relates to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M tuberculosis) proteins and immunologically active fragments (peptides or mimotope peptides) thereof. In particular, the invention relates to a group of M. tuberculosis proteins and peptides thereof that are both highly antigenic and characteristic of clinical strains of M. tuberculosis. Accordingly, the further relates to the use of these M. tuberculosis proteins or peptides in diagnosing, treating or preventing M. tuberculosis complex infection.
