  1. “Overview of Utz Lab” ITI Retreat at Chaminade PJ Utz, MD Associate Professor of Medicine March 11, 2007

  2. Main Research Goals: Technology Development for Analysis of IMIDs: Autoantibody Profiling FACS-based Technologies Reverse Phase Arrays Micro and Nano Fluidics Novel Detection (Carbon Nanotubes) Bioinformatics Antigen-Specific Therapy, Oligos Mouse Models of SLE, T1D Study of Human Materials

  3. Disease Interests: CTDs T1D IBD Sclerosing Cholangitis Primary Biliary Cirrhosis ANCA+ Vasculitis Cancer Atherosclerosis Transplantation Pediatric SLE Education

  4. Baechler et al., PNAS, 2003, 100:2610

  5. Bead-Based Multiplexed Cytokine Assay Adapted from Luminex website tutorial

  6. Bauer et al., PLOS Med, 2006, 3:2274

  7. Interferon and TLR Signaling IFN-I (IFN-a, IFN-b) IFNAR1 IFNAR2 JAK1 TYK2 ssRNA P P STAT1 STAT1 STAT2 STAT2 TLR 7 dsDNA TLR 9 IRF-9 IRF-9 IFN-b, IFN-a isotypes IFN inducible genes ISRE IRFs

  8. Produce arrays using a robotic microarrayer

  9. ALL MICE WT vs. PBS WT vs. IRF-9 WT vs. STAT-1

  10. Summary: Interferon Signaling in Mice • B cells from IRF9-/- and IFNAR2-/- mice express lower basal levels of TLR7 and fail to upregulate TLR7 in response to IFN-I. • Novel role for IFN-I in TLR-7 specific B cell responses and production of anti-RNP antibodies in vivo.

  11. IFN high/lowDNA-associated Antigens

  12. IFN high/lowRNA-associated Antigens

  13. Reverse Phase Protein Lysate Microarrays

  14. Cell Signaling in T Cell Leukemia Chan et al. , Blood, In Press

  15. Phospho-Protein Flow Cytometry Perez and Nolan, Nature Biotechnology, 2002, 20:155

  16. Signal Transduction Biosignatures Stratify AML Patients into Clinical Subgroups Irish et al, Cell, 2004, 118:217

  17. Development of New Therapies Analysis of Existing Therapies Bench Bedside Bench Animal Patient Immune Models Materials Monitoring Core

  18. Patient Sample Acquisition IRB 5 Clinics (Ritu Gupta) Trials Interdisciplinary Clinical Data, Outcome Measures Processing and Freezing Future Staff Additional Clinics, Backup New Clinics Processing by IMC Trials in Other Disciplines
