Figure 5.

ELICAT database: experimental design functionality. The figure shows two screens used to capture the experimental design of an ELISPOT experiment. By specifying the donor from whom T cells used in the experiment were derived, the experiment becomes linked to the information for that donor in DONORDB, and some fields such as the HLA alleles expressed by that donor become prepopulated. ELICAT also allows the users to specify the type of cytokines and cells used in the experiments (not shown here).
