Like many words, the term "immunomics" equates to different ideas
contingent on context. For a brief span, immunomics meant the study
of the Immunome, of which there were, in turn, several different
definitions. A now largely defunct meaning rendered the Immunome as
the set of antigenic peptides or immunogenic proteins within a
single microorganism - be that virus, bacteria, fungus, or parasite
- or microbial population, or antigenic or allergenic proteins and
peptides derived from the environment as a whole, containing also
proteins from eukaryotic sources. However, times have changed and
the meaning of immunomics has also changed. Other newer definitions
of the Immunome have come to focus on the plethora of immunological
receptors and accessory molecules that comprise the host immune
arsenal. Today, Immunomics or immunogenomics is now most often used
as a synonym for high-throughput genome-based immunology. This is
the study of aspects of the immune system using high-throughput
techniques within a conc- tual landscape borne of both clinical and
biophysical thinking.
