DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Flow cytometry has become an indispensable tool for numerous areas of biological and medical research. Multiple parameters can be measured simultaneously on individual living cells with such a speed that an entire population of cells can be analyzed within seconds to minutes. Rare and unusual events are identified rapidly and expression levels of defined cell-surface or intracellular molecules can be quantified with great ease and precision. The ability to detect such events is particularly critical for the study of cancer and immunological diseases. Uses of the flow cytometry instrument include the monitoring of knockout mice and their reconstitution, analysis of TCR-transgenic mice, the tracking of transferred lymphoid subpopulations, quantification of EGFP-labeled fusion proteins, MHC-tetramer analyses of T cells, identification of variant bacteria, etc. The need for flow cytometric analyses has markedly increased because of an increased awareness of the diverse applications of multiparameter flow cytometry resulting in highly limited availability of the instruments. The PI and the Technical Director have a combined 40-year work experience in analytical cytology. A new 3 Laser BD Digital LSR TM will drastically reduce the current waiting times and provide a cost-efficient highly informative rapid method of analysis to a diverse group of NIH-supported scientists. The Laser BD Digital LSR TM is a state-of-the-art, triple laser, 10 parameter, 8-color analyzer, with a dual thresholding ability ideal for analysis of small particles. The efficiency of the usage of the Laser BD Digital LSR TM will be further increased by placing the unit into the existing Flow Cytometry Facility. Integration of this unit into this facility will guarantee supervision and management by an outstanding, highly experienced Technical Director, Julie Auger, and continued support as part of the institution's Cancer Center Core. Inclusion into an already established system of on-line bookings ensures and documents the maximal and fair usage of the instrument. An already established Internal Advisory Committee will oversee an equitable and appropriate use by a broad multidisciplinary group of scientists while giving priority to NIH supported groups.

描述（由申请人提供）：流式细胞术已成为许多生物和医学研究领域不可或缺的工具。可以同时测量单个活细胞的多个参数，其速度使得整个细胞群可以在数秒至数分钟内进行分析。罕见和不寻常的事件被迅速鉴定，并且可以非常容易和精确地定量确定的细胞表面或细胞内分子的表达水平。检测这些事件的能力对于癌症和免疫性疾病的研究特别重要。流式细胞仪的用途包括监测敲除小鼠及其重建、分析TCR转基因小鼠、追踪转移的淋巴细胞亚群、定量EGFP标记的融合蛋白、T细胞的MHC四聚体分析、鉴定变异细菌、由于对多参数流式细胞术的各种应用的认识的提高，对流式细胞术分析的需求显著增加这导致仪器的可用性非常有限。PI和技术总监在分析细胞学方面拥有40年的工作经验。一种新的3激光BD数字LSR TM将大大减少目前的等待时间，并提供一个具有成本效益的高信息量的快速分析方法，以一个不同的群体NIH支持的科学家。Laser BD Digital LSR TM是一款先进的三激光、10参数、8色分析仪，具有双阈值功能，是分析小颗粒的理想选择。通过将激光BD数字LSR TM装置放置到现有流式细胞仪中，将进一步提高激光BD数字LSR TM的使用效率。该单位整合到这个设施将保证监督和管理的一个杰出的，经验丰富的技术总监，朱莉奥格，并继续支持该机构的癌症中心核心的一部分。纳入一个已经建立的在线预订系统，确保并记录最大限度地公平使用该工具。一个已经成立的内部咨询委员会将监督广泛的多学科科学家小组的公平和适当使用，同时优先考虑NIH支持的小组。
