Patent number: 8467974Abstract: A computer program product, and related systems and methods, are described that processes emission intensity data corresponding to probes of a biological probe array. The computer program includes a genotype and statistical analysis manager that determines absolute or relative expression values based, at least in part, on a statistical measure of the emission intensity data and at least one user-selectable statistical parameter. The analysis manager may also determine genotype calls for one or more probes based, at least in part, on the emission intensity data. The analysis manager may further display the absolute or relative expression values based, at least in part, on at least one user-selectable display parameter and/or a measure of normalized change between genotype calls. The measure of normalized change may be based, at least in part, on a comparison of genotype calls and a reference value.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2011Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: Affymetrix, Inc.Inventors: Shantanu V. Kaushikkar, Teresa A. Webster, Rui Mei, Linda McAllister

Publication number: 20120258890Abstract: The present application describes methods for assessing influenza infection, including prognosis. An assay that determines the amount of the NS1 and NP proteins of influenza virus shows enhanced sensitivity and reliability compared to either antigen alone. Many formats employ pan-specific antibodies (i.e., that react with all or at least with multiple strains within an influenza type).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2012Publication date: October 11, 2012Applicant: ARBOR VITA CORPORATIONInventors: PETER S. LU, MICHAEL P. BELMARES, CAROL TAN, LINDA MCALLISTER
