DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting funds for a Bio-Rad Laboratories Bio-Plex Workstation and Software (Suspension Array) system to provide a multiplex system to facilitate simultaneous analysis of up to 100 different biomolecules (proteins, peptides or nucleic acids) in a single microplate reader. The multiplex platform integrates xMAP(R) technology and Luminex200" from Luminex Corporation to enable discrete bioassays on the surface of color coded beads (either polystyrene or magnetic). Reagents may include antigens, antibodies, oligonucleotides, enzyme substrates or receptors and thus can provide quantitative information of multiple analytes in small volumes for experimental (animal and human) or cell culture analyte profiling, signal transduction profiling and transcriptional profiling. The multiplex analysis system (Bio-Plex) will be used to support a group of 13 investigators in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health (EOH). The rationale for this request includes: a) EOH is an extensive recruitment phase with an emphasis on contemporary environmental health science that greatly has increased the utilization of molecular biological approaches in experimental models in genetically modified mice including quantitative trait locus approaches towards gene-environment interactions, mammalian cell culture and human subjects; b) EOH recently relocated to a new contemporary research building (Thermo-Fisher Building) in the Bridgeside Point Site (100 Technology Drive) that is >3.0 miles from the major cluster of Bio-Plex instruments (n=5) at University Pittsburgh Cancer Institute; and our current collaborators at Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh; c) there is only one Bio-Plex instrument nearby (Clinical Pharmacology) and this is dedicated to a large pharmacogenomic effort and was not configured to accommodate the entire needs of our department; d) Bio-Plex will be a valuable platform for the training of pre- and postdoctoral students in environmental health sciences; e) the versatility (proteins and nucleic acids) of Bio-Plex will assure that it conforms to predicted future needs of serving as a critical interface with other discrete high throughput screening; f) the short scanning time of the instrument enhances its multiuser capability by allowing more time consuming analysis to be done in individual laboratories and the multiuser software components will facilitate off site data analysis further simplifying multiuser access. The Bio-Plex platform is capable of assaying a wide range of biomolecules including proteins and nucleic acids and as such applications can include immunoassays, enzyme assays, receptor ligand interactions and signal transduction assays as well as transcription factor profiling. We anticipate extensive initial use in animal model serum and cell culture model analyte profiling and expanding use in signal transduction network profiling and transcription factor profiling. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The acquisition of Bio-Plex for 13 sponsored investigators in EOH will greatly facilitate existing funded research in environmental health related to respiratory, cardiovascular and central nervous system function. The ability to make multiple measurements of protein and nucleic acids in a small volume will greatly enhance the integrated nature of virtually all experiments and allow for considerably more meaningful results to emerge.

描述(由申请人提供)：我们正在为Bio-Rad实验室的Bio-Plex工作站和软件(悬浮阵列)系统申请资金，以提供一个多路系统，以便在一个微型平板阅读器中同时分析多达100种不同的生物分子(蛋白质、多肽或核酸)。该多路传输平台集成了Luminex公司的xMAP(注册商标)技术和LLumex200“，使彩色编码珠粒(聚苯乙烯或磁性珠粒)的表面能够进行离散的生物分析。试剂可以包括抗原、抗体、寡核苷酸、酶底物或受体，因此可以为实验(动物和人类)或细胞培养分析物图谱、信号转导图谱和转录图谱提供小量多个分析物的定量信息。多重分析系统(Bio-Plex)将用于支持环境和职业卫生部的13名调查人员。提出这一要求的理由包括：a)EOH是一个广泛的招募阶段，重点是当代环境健康科学，它极大地增加了分子生物学方法在转基因小鼠实验模型中的使用，包括对基因-环境相互作用、哺乳动物细胞培养和人类受试者的定量性状基因座方法；b)EOH最近搬迁到位于Bridgeside Point站点(100 Technology Drive)的一座新的当代研究大楼(Thermo-Fisher Building)，它距离匹兹堡大学癌症研究所主要的Bio-Plex仪器群(n=5)&gt；3.0英里；以及我们目前在匹兹堡儿童医院的合作者；C)附近只有一台Bio-Plex仪器(临床药理学)，这是专门用于大型药物基因组学工作的，并没有被配置为适应我们系的全部需求；d)Bio-Plex将是一个有价值的平台，用于环境健康科学的博士后和博士后学生的培训；e)Bio-Plex的多功能性(蛋白质和核酸)将确保它符合预测的未来需求，作为与其他离散的高通量筛查的关键接口；F)该仪器扫描时间短，可在各个实验室进行更多耗时的分析，从而增强了其多用户能力，多用户软件组件将促进场外数据分析，进一步简化多用户访问。Bio-Plex平台能够分析包括蛋白质和核酸在内的广泛的生物分子，因此可以应用于免疫分析、酶分析、受体配体相互作用和信号转导分析以及转录因子分析。我们预计将在动物模型、血清和细胞培养模型分析中广泛使用，并扩大在信号转导网络分析和转录因子分析中的应用。公共卫生相关性：为EOH赞助的13名研究人员收购Bio-Plex将极大地促进现有资助的与呼吸、心血管和中枢神经系统功能相关的环境健康研究。在很小的体积内对蛋白质和核酸进行多次测量的能力将极大地增强几乎所有实验的综合性，并允许出现更有意义的结果。
