Forward vaccinology: CTL targeting based upon physical detection of HLA-bound peptides

Vaccine-elicited cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) recognizing conserved fragments of a pathogen's proteome could greatly impact infectious diseases and cancers. Enabling this potential are recent advances in mass spectrometry that identify specific target peptides among the myriad HLA-bound peptid...
