| 摘要 |
The present invention relates generally to the field of identification and determination of bioactive amino acid sequences. In particular, the present invention provides method(s) for determining the influence of variation in host genes on selection of microorganisms with particular amino acid variants for the purpose of therapeutic drug or vaccine design or individualisation of such treatment. The invention also provides methods for identifying HLA allele-specific microorganism sequence polymorphisms that result from HLA restriction of antigen-specific cellular immune responses. It also provides diagnostic and therapeutic methodologies that may be used to measure or treat infection by a microorganism or to prevent infection by the microorganism.
