The combination of phylogenetic proximity to humans and high levels of intraspecific genetic variation has already allowed successful identification of DNA sequence variation in Alzheimer Disease (AD)- related genes in chimpanzees during Phase 1. This Phase 2 proposal will develop. SNP genotyping capabilities for those polymorphisms and genotype pre-existing chimpanzee brain tissues and aged livin ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): CAP-PAP Test (further: CPT) is a double-staining, single-slide method for cervical cancer primary screening based on a new biological marker of cervical dysplasia (US patent No. 6,143,512 of November 7, 2000). In phase-1 study (SBIR-NCI-NIH award No. 1R43CA86767-01) the method was established as a research service in a cytopa ...
