IMMUNOME WIDE ASSOCIATION STUDIES TO IDENTIFY CONDITION-SPECIFIC ANTIGENS

摘要

The present invention provides compositions and methods that can be used to identify an antigen or epitope region of an antigen specific for a disease or other condition. Such methods incorporate k-mer binding statistics to serum antibody from condition and control cohort samples to predict the suitability of antigen sequences identified as relevant to the disease or condition as antigen markers. Also disclosed herein are systems for performing the same.
