The impact on the NIEHS research is that this important study of ANA prevelance/incidence with Vitamin D Levels, cytokines, and telomere length as a measure of immune aging will not be possible without these assays. For scientific comparability with research conducted by University of Colorado on preclinical autoimmunity in other high risk populations, it is ideal that the measurement of these analytes be carried out in the same laboratory. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability. Respond to this requirement by submitting written capabilities/specifications to the Purchasing Agent at the address stated below.
