In a career that spanned more than 50 years and saw more than 600 publications, Sercarz's medical research focused on the need to understand the nature of "epitopes" - protein fragments that are targeted by the body's immune system. ❋ Unknown (2009)

It's still all theory, but UC Davis researchers think that the reason senior citizens over age 65 aren't catching the H1N1 flu at least for now is that specific shared molecular sites called epitopes result in some type of immunity to the novel flu. ❋ Unknown (2009)
