Abstract

Abstract ImmuneSpace is a data repository and analysis platform of the Human Immunology Project Consortium (HIPC), a multi-center collaborative effort to characterize the status of the immune system in different populations under diverse stimulations and disease states. This ongoing effort has generated large amounts of varied high-throughput, high-dimensional immunological data. ImmuneSpace directly extracts data from ImmPort -- the central NIAID database, and further standardizes it for meta-analysis and reporting, making it ready to be explored using state-of-art visualization and analysis tools. ImmuneSpace will act as a central immunological hub, allowing experimentalists, statisticians, and bioinformaticians to freely retrieve, explore and compare data across assays and across studies generated within and outside of HIPC. We present a selection of multi-cohort analyses using standardized gene expression and flow cytometry data sets across multiple studies identifying novel baseline predictors of vaccine efficacy across a variety of pathogens.
