Core C:The overall goal of this Center proposal is to develop effective diagnostic, prognostic and therapeuticmeasures against NIAID Category A-C pathogens. One of the objectives of the Center is to establishbiosignatures of human cells exposed in vitro and in vivo to Category A-C pathogens. In this context, themain purpose of the Luminex Core will be to provide Investigators of the Center with expertise in multiplexingi protein analysis using Luminex system. This analysis will complement and validate the results obtained frommicroarray gene expression analysis.Objectives: To establish and distribute within the Center standard operating procedures (SOP s) for multiplexing proteinanalysis using Luminex system. To analyze samples obtained from Investigators of the Center. To validate expression levels of candidate proteins by other methods (ELISA, Cytokine Bead Array,intracellular stainings and flow cytometry) To correlate the results of gene expression with protein expressionWe view this analysis as part of our long term goal, which is to develop proteomics as it applies to thediagnosis and prognosis of human immune dysfunctions.
