    摘要: This invention pertains to the discovery that an amplification of the CYP24 gene or an increase in CYP24 activity is a marker for the presence of, progression of, or predisposition to, a cancer (e.g., breast cancer). Using this information, this invention provides methods of detecting a predisposition to cancer in an animal. The methods involve (i) providing a biological sample from an animal (e.g. a human patient); (ii) detecting the level of CYP24 within the biological sample; and (iii) comparing the level of CYP24 with a level of CYP24 in a control sample taken from a normal, cancer-free tissue where an increased level of CYP24 in the biological sample compared to the level of CYP24 in the control sample indicates the presence of said cancer in said animal.

    摘要: This invention provides an imaging system for high-accuracy quantitative analysis of a microarray. In certain embodiments, the system comprises a broad band excitation light source that provides Kohler illumination of said microarray at an incident angle that ranges from about 30 degrees to about 75 degrees from the normal to the microarray, and that has less than about ±25 percent variation in intensity over the array at all wavelengths ranging from 400 to 800 nm; a support for holding a microarray; a detection lens system that is chromatically corrected so the apparent position of the microarray or a feature comprising the microarray varies by less than 10 μm as the detection wavelength varies from about 400 to about 800 nm; and a detection device for detecting and optionally recording an image produced by said detection lens system.

    摘要: This invention provides improved components (e.g. array “pins”, print head, substrate platen, print head platen, and the like) for microarray printing devices as well as microarray printing devices incorporating such components. In one embodiment, this invention provides a microarray print head comprising a plurality of glass or quartz spotting capillaries disposed in a support that maintains a fixed spacing between the spotting capillaries and that permits the spotting capillaries to move in a direction parallel to the long axis of the capillaries.
