- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to implement recently developed sialoglycan chemistry in order to develop automated assays to measure antibodies to influenza viruses, including pandemic influenza viruses. Current technology utilizes Red Blood Cells (RBC) in a hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) assay that requires manual readout. Therefore, CDC plans to acquire sialoglycan-coated beads and plates to develop a methodology to be used as a surrogate of RBC with long shelf life which is compatible with automated multiwell plate readers. CDC will also include options to purchase a supply of essential test kits for a period of three years in order to perform antibody measurements by this approach. This technology is expected to make it possible to study antibody responses to seasonal and emerging influenza viruses with greater speed and accuracy. The contractor shall provide the necessary supplies and services to develop fluorescent and/or magnetic beads, quantum dots, or multiwell plates coated with sialoglycans from up to six animal sources for performing influenza virus antibody binding assays. The solicitation is available for downloading July 6, 2007. NOTE: THIS NOTICE MAY HAVE POSTED ON FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (05-JUL-2007). IT ACTUALLY APPEARED OR REAPPEARED ON THE FEDBIZOPPS SYSTEM ON 13-AUG-2007, BUT REAPPEARED IN THE FTP FEED FOR THIS POSTING DATE. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
