These computational techniques are varied in type and very powerful when combined. We have selected a prostate cancer dataset which is available in the public domain to allow for further comparisons with existing methods. The task is to identify biomarkers that correlate with the clinical phenotype of interest, i.e., Gleason patterns 3, 4, and 5. A supervised method, based on the mathematical formalism of (alpha, beta)-k-feature sets (1), is used to select differentially expressed genes. After these \"molecular signatures\" are identified, we applied an unsupervised method (a memetic algorithm) to order the samples (2). The objective is to maximize a global measure of correlation in the two-dimensional display of gene expression profiles. With the resulting ordering and taxonomy we are able to identify samples that have been assigned a certain Gleason pattern, and have gene expression patterns different from most of the other samples in the group. We reiterate the approach to obtain molecular signatures that produce coherent patterns of gene expression in each of the three Gleason pattern groups, and we analyze the statistically significant patterns of gene expression that seem to be implicated in these different stages of disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":18460,"journal":{"name":"Methods in molecular medicine","volume":"141 ","pages":"131-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/978-1-60327-148-6_8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"27418338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conditions involved in immunoelectrophoresis are mild, avoiding the risk of denaturation, and it is possible to perform relative quantification of individual components. The principle disadvantage is the dependence on rabbit antisera as reagents. The usefulness of immunoelectrophoresis in allergy research is greatly enhanced by the possibility of identification of allergens to which the individual in question has IgE. The common principle is characterized by two independent electrophoreses having direction of current perpendicular to each other, i.e., crossed immunoelectrophoresis (CIE). This ultimately results in the formation of characteristic bell-shaped precipitates, each precipitate representing one antigen. There is a linear relationship between the amount of antigen and size of precipitate for a given antibody concentration for each precipitate and so relative quantification can be performed.

This active site is composed of universally conserved rRNA nucleosides. The peptidyl transferase center is by far the most frequently used target site of natural antibiotics in the cell. Here we describe a novel, simple, and convenient method to assess peptide bond formation which we named SPARK. The basic principle of SPARK is the use of two reaction substrates that closely resemble the natural tRNA substrates (one is biotinylated and the other carries a tritium label) that become covalently connected during transpeptidation. Formation of this peptide bond then allows capture and direct quantification of the radiolabled product, now joined to the biotin group, using the scintillation proximity assay technology. Binding of the tritiated radioligand to streptavidin-coated beads causes the excitation of the bead-embedded scintillant, thus resulting in the detection of radioactivity. Since no product purification step is required, SPARK is amenable to simple automation, which makes it useful in high-throughput screens of natural or synthetic compound libraries in the search for novel antibiotics.</p>","PeriodicalId":18460,"journal":{"name":"Methods in molecular medicine","volume":"142 ","pages":"107-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/978-1-59745-246-5_9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"27404318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
