Identification of Coccidioidomycosis Immunoreactive Peptides That Recall T-Cell Responses Indicating Past Exposure
This study identified peptides that, when pooled, had immunogenic properties in humans infected with Coccidioides that can be used to distinguish infected individuals from endemic area healthy controls or nonexposed individuals outside the endemic area. This approach holds relevance for the development of diagnostic assays for VF.
