NIH has posted an Audio/Transcript of their July 10, 2017 Telebriefing:
https://www.nih.gov/research-traini...ives/mecfs/nih-me/cfs-advocacy-call-july-2017
Dr. Breen, NIAID, indicates Mark Davis' immunological research may be "groundbreaking:"
And then we heard some of the work that’s supported by Mark Davis at Stanford. And Mark has really pioneered the way to go from how the immune system senses either an external or internal antigen and then actually how that response is generated.
And it’s very groundbreaking work in that he can go from not knowing what the body is responding to, to actually doing detective work and tracking back to find where the original response was. For example, in a large cohort of chronic fatigue patients he has now found a number of new antigens that correlate with disease. And he hasn’t published this yet, and he’s not ready to tell us because he needs to be 100 percent certain of what these antigens are, but I think the approach itself is really groundbreaking. It was published about a month ago for TB. [my bold]
