Event Overview:

In this webinar, learn how mass spectrometry has been used to identify more than 500 unique sequences from SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein extracellular domain in a complex with human leukocyte antigen class II molecules on antigen presenting cells from a panel of healthy donors.This work by researchers at Eli Lilly and Co. represents the most precise and comprehensive HLA-II immunopeptidomic investigation with SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein and allows for detailed analysis of features, which may aid crucial vaccine development.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • How to use mass spectrometry-based approaches to examine immune response in viral infections
  • Considerations for successful immunopeptidomics work
  • Application of chosen approach in developing novel subunit or nucleic acid-based vaccines.

Speaker:

Michael Knierman, Senior Research Scientist, Eli Lilly and Co.
