    摘要: This invention relates, e.g., to a method for predicting the response of a subject having, or at risk of developing, breast cancer to Tamoxifen therapy. The method comprises measuring the amount of phosphorylation at residues S70 of Bcl-2, Y992 of EGFR, and/or Y527 of Src in a suitable sample from the subject, wherein a statistically significantly elevated level of phosphorylation at one or more of the three residues compared to a baseline value indicates that the subject is likely to be responsive to Tamoxifen therapy.

    摘要: The invention describes a process for determining a biological state through the discovery and analysis of hidden or non-obvious, discriminatory biological data patterns. The biological data can be from health data, clinical data, or from a biological sample, (e.g., a biological sample from a human, e.g., serum, blood, saliva, plasma, nipple aspirants, synovial fluids, cerebrospinal fluids, sweat, urine, fecal matter, tears, bronchial lavage, swabbings, needle aspirantas, semen, vaginal fluids, pre-ejaculate.), etc. which is analyzed to determine the biological state of the donor. The biological state can be a pathologic diagnosis, toxicity state, efficacy of a drug, prognosis of a disease, etc. Specifically, the invention concerns processes that discover hidden discriminatory biological data patterns (e.g., patterns of protein expression in a serum sample that classify the biological state of an organ) that describe biological states.

    摘要: An assay device for determining the presence of analytes in a cell lysate comprises a porous support member and a plurality of binding reagents arranged and immobilized at multiple reaction sites on the support member. The binding reagents are selected and arranged to assess the status of a selected cellular signal transduction pathway/protein-protein interactive network. In a further aspect, a method for assessing the status of a signal transduction pathway comprises generating a lysate of cells, the lysate retaining one or more pathway molecules present in one or more states and the pathway molecules reflecting signal transduction events taking place in the cells. The method further includes applying the lysate to an immobilized series of binding reagents which can discriminate the pathway molecules and their states. Binding events between the pathway molecules and the binding reagents are identified and the state of the selected signal pathway is determined.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of quality assurance/quality control for high-throughput bioassay processes. The method includes generating a bioassay process model, and then comparing spectral data based on a combination of a biochip and a test serum to the bioassay process model to determine if the test sample and the bioassay process are producing acceptable data. Alternatively, the method may include comparing spectral data based on a combination of serum and diluents used in an electrospray process to the bioassay process model. If the bioassay process and test sample fall within the model, then the spectrum produced may be further analyzed.

    摘要: An immunoassay device incorporating porous polymeric capture nanoparticles within either the sample collection vessel or pre-impregnated into a porous substratum within fluid flow path of the analytical device is presented. This incorporation of capture particles within the immunoassay device improves sensitivity while removing the requirement for pre-processing of samples prior to loading the immunoassay device. A preferred embodiment is coreshell bait containing capture nanoparticles which perform three functions in one step, in solution: a) molecular size sieving, b) target analyte sequestration and concentration, and c) protection from degradation. The polymeric matrix of the capture particles may be made of co-polymeric materials having a structural monomer and an affinity monomer, the affinity monomer having properties that attract the analyte to the capture particle. This device is useful for point of care diagnostic assays for biomedical applications and as field deployable assays for environmental, pathogen and chemical or biological threat identification.

    摘要: Methods of selecting a treatment for a patient with multiple myeloma are provided. Prior to commencing a treatment regime, bone marrow aspirates are isolated from a patient and incubated with one or more candidate therapeutics. The methods identify the therapy or combination of therapies most likely to yield the best results for a particular individual. In addition to improving clinical outcome, such theranostic evaluations dramatically reduce health care costs, by avoiding ineffective therapies. Screening assays for identifying treatments for multiple myeloma also are provided.

    摘要: This invention relates, e.g., to a set of calibrants for determining the amount in a sample of an analyte (e.g., a protein, such as a protein that has been post-translationally modified), comprising a plurality of calibrants, which contain a range of amounts (e.g., defined amounts and/or serial dilutions) of the analyte, spanning the expected amount of the analyte in the sample. In each of the calibrants, a defined amount of the analyte is present in the same suitable, biological diluent (e.g., a cell or tissue lysate, or a bodily fluid). In one embodiment of the invention, the diluent reflects the same or a similar biological milieu (proteins, lipids, serum proteins, serum matrix proteins, etc.) as that in the sample in which the analyte to be measured is present. In embodiments of the invention, a single calibrant (e.g., a cell lysate) may comprise as many as hundreds of analytes, and can be used for the quantification of those hundreds of analytes in a sample. Methods are described for performing an assay (e.g. RPMA analysis), in which the calibrants of a set of calibrants of the invention are immobilized on each of the surfaces to which samples to be analyzed are immobilized, thereby providing an internal calibration curve for quantifying an RPMA assay.
