Humoral Fingerprinting of Immune Responses: 'Super-Resolution', High-Dimensional Serology

Trends Immunol. 2016 Mar;37(3):167-169. doi: 10.1016/j.it.2016.01.003. Epub 2016 Jan 29.

Abstract

In a recent study, Chung et al. report the development of a high-dimensional approach to assess humoral responses to immune perturbation that goes beyond antibody neutralization and titers. This approach enables the identification of potentially novel correlates and mechanisms of protective immunity to HIV vaccination, thus offering a glimpse of how dense phenotyping of serological responses coupled with bioinformatics analysis could lead to much-sought-after markers of protective vaccination responses.
