Viruses multiply at an incredible pace once it infects the victim, but researchers have developed a screening platform named LEAPS (Ligand Epitope Antigen Presentation System) that identifies epitopes, small parts of virus that elect specific immune reactions. It is guided to immature dendritic cells, immune system's conductors that fight against invaders. The LEAPS technology directs an immune response in a desired direction.
