Identity of immunomodulators
Dependencies
Next steps
Identity of immunomodulators
Research Question
- Identity of main immunomodulators
Research Gaps and Challenges
- Lack of knowledge of main roles of virus immunomodulators
Solution Routes
- Standardized protocols for a set of cytokines to go with regular
qPCR/titration assays
Dependencies
- What else needs to be done before we can solve this need?
- Better understanding of innate immunity in birds, swine, equine,
canine - Role of prior exposure to other pathogens that might limit the host
response to vaccination(e.g. Virus combinations) - Correlates of protection and effects of immunomodulators (some use just classical assays ie. HI)
