DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request funds to support the purchase an instrument that will help more than 19 different laboratories at the University of Washington (UW), Seattle Children's Hospital, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) address critical barriers in their research. The Firefly 3000 Protein Analysis System (Cell Biosciences, Palo Alto, CA) allows all isoforms of a signaling protein of interest to be precisely quantified using sample sizes containing as few as 25 cells. The ability to quantitatively assess cell signaling using very low cell numbers opens the door to assessing signal transduction in rare cell populations obtained after cell sorting or after laser capture microdissection. This instrument will be housed in our Cell Analysis Core Facility at the UW's South Lake Union Campus, using the same infrastructure that supports operation of the Core. In addition, the UW has committed a total of $120,000 over 5 years to support the maintenance of the instrument, assuring that user fees can be kept at relatively low levels. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This application seeks funding for the Firefly 3000 Protein Analysis System. This instrument will support more than 19 labs at the UW, FHCRC and Seattle Children's Hospital, allowing signal transduction to be quantitatively assessed using samples of as few as 25 cells.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们请求资金支持购买一种仪器，该仪器将帮助华盛顿大学（UW）、西雅图儿童医院和弗雷德哈钦森癌症研究中心（FHCRC）的19个不同实验室解决其研究中的关键障碍。Firefly 3000蛋白质分析系统（Cell Biosciences，Palo Alto，CA）允许使用含有少至25个细胞的样品大小来精确定量感兴趣的信号传导蛋白的所有同种型。使用非常低的细胞数量定量评估细胞信号传导的能力为评估细胞分选后或激光捕获显微切割后获得的稀有细胞群中的信号转导打开了大门。该仪器将被安置在我们的细胞分析核心设施在华盛顿大学的南湖联盟校园，使用相同的基础设施，支持核心的操作。此外，华盛顿大学还承诺在5年内提供120，000美元用于支持仪器的维护，确保用户费用保持在相对较低的水平。 公共卫生相关性：该申请旨在为萤火虫3000蛋白质分析系统提供资金。该仪器将支持华盛顿大学、FHCRC和西雅图儿童医院的超过19个实验室，允许使用少至25个细胞的样本定量评估信号转导。
