The Biological Macromolecule Shared Resource (BMSR) represents a consolidation of services previously offered by the Molecular Biology and the Virus Vector shared resources, with the addition of a new service for recombinant protein production and purification. The overall goal of the BMSR is to facilitate and implement multiple end-points, both those within this shared resource, and those involving interfacing with other shared resources. These include the production of research grade virus particles, knock-in/knock-out mice (in collaboration with the Transgenic/Knockout Mouse Shared Resource), knock-in/knock-out somatic cell lines using homologous recombination, transient and stable protein expression in mammalian cells, recombinant protein production (bacterial, yeast, insect, and mammalian systems) and purification for structural analysis (in collaboration with the Structural Biology Shared Resource), and for protein interaction studies using the Biacore instrumentation located in the Flow Cytometry shared resource. In addition to moving vectors provided by investigators towards these end points, we offer design, construction and validation services for the generation of new vectors. The BMSR is co-directed by Dr Shirley Taylor (CMG), who brings molecular biology, cell culture, and protein expression experience, and Dr Darrell Peterson (Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) a protein biochemist with extensive experience in protein production and purification. The BMSR employs a Resource Manager (Ms Kimberly Stratton, MS) and two full time research specialists, each of whom takes primary responsibility for one of the three major areas, but with sufficient cross-training in ail services offered to ensure continuity and maximal efficiency. The BMSR generally operates at >85% capacity, serving a wide range of investigators both within the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Massey Cancer Center (MCC), and from the VCU research community. For the period January 1 2008 through December 31, 2010, MCC members with peer-reviewed funding accounted for approximately 70% of basic services and special projects. In CY 2010 the virus vector services of the BMSR served five funded MCC investigators, and three non-MCC investigators. Since its inception in January 2010, the Protein Production facility has served five funded MCC investigators and two non-MCC investigators, on ten separate projects. The BMSR served 22 peer-reviewed funded MCC investigators in routine services and special projects and 15 non-MCC investigators.

生物大分子共享资源（BMSR）代表了先前由分子生物学和病毒载体共享资源提供的服务的整合，并增加了重组蛋白生产和纯化的新服务。 BMSR 的总体目标是促进和实现多个端点，包括该共享资源内的端点以及涉及与其他共享资源接口的端点。其中包括研究级病毒颗粒的生产、敲入/敲除小鼠（与转基因/敲除小鼠共享资源合作）、使用同源重组的敲入/敲除体细胞系、哺乳动物细胞中瞬时和稳定的蛋白质表达、重组蛋白质生产（细菌、酵母、昆虫和哺乳动物系统）和结构分析纯化（与结构生物学共享资源合作）和蛋白质 使用位于流式细胞术共享资源中的 Biacore 仪器进行相互作用研究。除了将研究人员提供的载体转移到这些终点之外，我们还提供用于生成新载体的设计、构建和验证服务。 BMSR 由具有分子生物学、细胞培养和蛋白质表达经验的 Shirley Taylor 博士（CMG）和在蛋白质生产和纯化方面拥有丰富经验的蛋白质生物化学家 Darrell Peterson 博士（生物化学和分子生物学系）共同领导。 BMSR 聘用了一名资源经理（Kimberly Stratton 女士，MS）和两名全职研究专家，每人主要负责三个主要领域之一，但在所提供的所有服务中都进行了充分的交叉培训，以确保连续性和最大效率。 BMSR 通常以 >85% 的容量运行，为弗吉尼亚联邦大学 (VCU) 梅西癌症中心 (MCC) 和 VCU 研究界的广泛研究人员提供服务。 2008年1月1日至2010年12月31日期间，接受同行评审资助的MCC成员约占基本服务和特殊项目的70%。 2010 年，BMSR 的病毒载体服务为五名受资助的 MCC 调查员和三名非 MCC 调查员提供服务。自 2010 年 1 月成立以来，蛋白质生产设施已为 10 个不同项目的五名受资助的 MCC 研究人员和两名非 MCC 研究人员提供服务。 BMSR 为 22 名经同行评审资助的 MCC 调查员提供日常服务和特殊项目服务，以及 15 名非 MCC 调查员。
