Abstract
The invention relates to a method for determining the cell mediated immune competence of a subject. The method comprises conducting a cell-mediated immunoassay (CMI) on a sample comprising immune cells from a subject. The method further comprises detecting in vitro an immune response to a pool of peptides, wherein the pool of peptides is derived from at least three viral antigens.

A method for determining the cell mediated immune competence of a subject, the method comprising conducting a cell-mediated immunoassay (CMI) on a sample comprising immune cells from the subject, and detecting in vitro an immune response to a pool of peptides, wherein the pool of peptides is derived from at least three but not more than five viral antigens selected from hexon protein of human adenovirus 3, matrix protein 1 of influenza virus, BZLF-1 protein of Epstein Barr virus, nucleocapsid protein of influenza virus, and fusion glycoprotein G0 of respiratory syncytial virus.
