A Method for Individualizing the Prediction of Immunogenicity of Protein Vaccines and Biologic Therapeutics: Individualized T Cell Epitope Measure (iTEM)

Table 1

Design of six different studies used to validate the iTEM predictions. In three cases, inbred HLA transgenic mice were used for measurements of vaccine immunogenicity. In the other three, human subjects were recruited for evaluations of immune responses to protein antigens.
