Competing Interests
The authors have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: The authors from Peptimmune Inc., a for profit organization, are employees: Joseph Kovalchin, Jeffrey Krieger, Michelle Genova, Michael Augustyniak, Kathryn Collins, Troy Bloom, Allyson Masci, Tara Hittinger, Ingrid Dufour and Eric Zanelli. This affiliation is also demarcated with a “number one” on the list of authors. JLS is a tenured professor at Harvard University but serves as a Scientific Advisor to Peptimmune. YFAK is in pre-clinical development and covered by Harvard US patent application 10/406783, published 06/03/2008. This does not alter the authors′ adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
