EpiVax is attending the Immunogenicity Summit in Bethesda this week. Look for Leslie and Annie in person (Annie is usually at the microphone asking questions about HLA associations). We will be piloting some new slides on Epitope Networks. (For more on that, see the link to our CHO/Host Cell protein talk, which is also available on line, below).
You have time to get to the meeting, because our talk is entitled, Peptides that Act as T Regulators: Implications for Control of Immunogenicity and Application to Protein Therapeutics (a.k.a. Tregitopes) does not take place until 4 PM on Friday!
If you miss the Tregitope talk at the Immunogenicity Summit, we have provided links to recent papers that can be downloaded (see below). We’re very excited that all of the Tregitope papers are “Open Access”.Enjoy the papers and we hope to see you at the Summit!
