Correlates of protection (CoPs) are increasingly important in the development and licensure
of vaccines. Although the study of CoPs was initially directed at identifying a single immune
function that could explain vaccine efficacy, it has become increasingly clear that there are
often multiple functions responsible for efficacy. This review is meant to supplement prior
articles on the subject, illustrating both simple and complex CoPs.
