Microfluidic particle-analysis systems

The invention provides systems, including apparatus, methods, and kits, for the microfluidic manipulation and / or detection of particles, such as cells and / or beads. The invention provides systems, including apparatus, methods, and kits, for the microfluidic manipulation and / or analysis of particles, such as cells, viruses, organelles, beads, and / or vesicles. The invention also provides microfluidic mechanisms for carrying out these manipulations and analyses. These mechanisms may enable controlled input, movement / positioning, retention / localization, treatment, measurement, release, and / or output of particles. Furthermore, these mechanisms may be combined in any suitable order and / or employed for any suitable number of times within a system. Accordingly, these combinations may allow particles to be sorted, cultured, mixed, treated, and / or assayed, among others, as single particles, mixed groups of particles, arrays of particles, heterogeneous particle sets, and / or homogeneous particle sets, among others, in series and / or in parallel. In addition, these combinations may enable microfluidic systems to be reused. Furthermore, these combinations may allow the response of particles to treatment to be measured on a shorter time scale than was previously possible. Therefore, systems of the invention may allow a broad range of cell and particle assays, such as drug screens, cell characterizations, research studies, and / or clinical analyses, among others, to be scaled down to microfluidic size. Such scaled-down assays may use less sample and reagent, may be less labor intensive, and / or may be more informative than comparable macrofluidic assays.

Method and apparatus for the design and analysis of market research studies

This invention automates the most common processes in market research study design and analysis. By combining a database framework designed to hold all the data elements used in a market research survey, codifying heuristics actually used by analysts to make decisions about survey analysis, and building a lexicon to communicate summary results to lay readers. First, this provides a stringent framework for designing a questionnaire and study plan which will lead to clear tab plans and analysis plans. Second, by automating the research design and analysis process, it eliminates the human error associated with the intricacies of questionnaire design, tab plan design, and research report writing. Thirdly, it also greatly reduces the time necessary to rerun an entire report based on simple changes to any study element definitions to a few hours, a process formerly taking days or weeks. Lastly, it reduces the need for experienced researchers in the research design and analysis process, freeing analysts to spend a greater proportion of their time working on the more mentally challenging and demanding work of synthesizing the market research survey to produce credible findings, rather than the redundant work of data tabulation and summary reporting.

Nucleic acid encoding calcyon, a D-1 like dopamine receptor activity modifying protein

A number of cDNA clones whose products may interact with D1 receptors in vivo were identified. One of the clones, P24, was characterized further. P24 is localized in dendrites and spines of pyramidal cells in PFC. The extent of overlap between P24 expressing and D1 receptor expressing pyramidal cells appeared to be 100%. In contrast, only a limited number D1 receptor antibody labeled neurons in caudate expressed P24. P24 lowers the threshold of D1 receptor response to dopamine (DA) by an order of magnitude. Sequence similarity suggests P24 is a diverged member of the RAMP family. The P24 protein is therefore referred to as a D1 DA RAMP, calcyon. The isolated protein and nucleotide molecule encoding the protein, as well as primers for the nucleotide, are described. The protein and compounds modifying DA binding to the receptor or calcium release which is mediated by the Calcyon, are useful in research studies, drug screening, and therapeutically.

Gene markers, primers, probes and kits for detecting lung cancer

The invention discloses a genetic mark for detecting lung cancer. The genetic marker comprises an SFTPB gene, an FGFR1 gene and an FILIP1L gene. Research studies show that mRNAs (messenger ribonucleic acids) of SFTPB, FGFR1 and FILIP1L in blood mononuclear cells of patients with the lung cancer are not expressed normally, accuracy rate of diagnosis on the lung cancer reaches 98.3% after integration, and the genetic mark is much more superior to a single gene in terms of diagnosis specificity and sensitivity. Through measurement of expression quantities of the SFTPB gene, the FGFR1 gene and the FILIP1L gene in blood, diagnosis on the lung cancer (especially early lung cancer from which the patients suffer without symptoms) is achieved, so that clinical lung cancer detection rate is increased, and death rate of the patients with the lung cancer is reduced.
