摘要
The present invention embodies a multi-disciplinary approach to validate or identify targets involved in any given biological process or pathway, such as an immune response, or progression or regression of disease. By introducing a target(s) with, e.g., gene delivery vector(s) or other foreign substance(s) to an in vivo system and by integrating, for example, pathological, pharmacological, bioassay, microarray and bioinformatics data obtained from the in vivo system, the present inventors are able to (1) identify one or more targets, e.g., genes, that are involved in a biological pathway of interest, (2) implement these identified targets for further analysis of the biological process or pathway and (3) provide a scalable approach in vivo for potential large quantities of target(s) discovery and validation. This process can be used in any number of applications, including the identification of agonists and antagonists to a biological process or pathway, which can lead to drugs and vaccine discovery.
