Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 160 / Thursday, August 18, 2011 / Notices identification of viral epitopes is critically important to understanding immune responses to infection and vaccination, and there are currently no comparable methods besides the classic screening of vast arrays of overlapping viral peptides on blood lymphocytes. Peptide screening methods only identify possible target epitopes, but do not define which epitopes are expressed in lung tissue. The technology will be valuable for vaccine development and evaluation, and has the flexibility to allow rapid analysis of novel pandemic strains for immunogenic epitopes. The technology can be applied to other infectious diseases, cancer, and immunotoxicities. II. Award Information/Funds Available Dated: August 9, 2011.
