This category exists for specific discussion around the HIPC Data Standards for capturing Study Subject Immune Exposures for humans and model organisms.
HIPC specifies a structured format (immune exposure model) to characterize human immune responses/mechanisms elicited by vaccinations, adjuvants or natural infection. In addition, an immune exposure validator has been developed. The immune exposure metadata are entered using the human subject template available on the ImmPort Website.
Human Subjects
As part of the entry of the human subject’s demographic information, HIPC uses the Gazetteer ontology to standardize the country location with a link to the Gazetteer ID. For the United States, the location field also includes the name of the state.
