Strategies for the Detection of Unknown Biological Materials

Abstract

Current strategies for the detection and identification of biological agents depend on known biological properties - specific biochemistries, specific antigens, and specific nucleic acid sequences But what about unknown agents, either natural or man-made? Can these agents elude current or proposed detection/identification schemes? Are there strategies that can be implemented for detection?
