The USC Center for Peptide and Protein Engineering (CPPE) aims to put USC in a position of undisputed leadership in peptide and protein science by creating functional peptides and proteins as imaging agents, diagnostics and therapies. Equipment includes: Lightsheet microscope (LaVision Biotec Ultramicroscope II), laser scanning confocal microscopes (Zeiss LSM 710 & 700), live cell imaging microscope and spinning disk confocal (BD/CrEST CARVII) with temperature/CO2/O2 control, widefield fluorescence microscopes (Leica DMI6000B AFC & Nikon Eclipse Ti-E), Optical Projection Tomography (OPT) microscope, 3D image rendering and analysis workstation with Arivis Vision4D and AutoQuant deconvolution software, 2D image analysis workstation with MetaMorph software.Р”В¬enter for Peptide and Protein Engineering Services include:Р’В consultation on the design, execution, and analysis of fixed and live cell imaging experiments as well as training in the utilization of Core facilities. The Cellular Imaging Core houses light microscopy and digital image processing equipment to support cell biology research. Training and assistance in the use of instruments and associated technical procedures is provided by appointment and in scheduled in-service training sessions. Services include:Р’В tissue processing, thin sectioning, embedding, cryosectioning, immunostaining, paraffin embedding, digital photomicroscopy, digital slide scanning, SEM imaging, and TEM imaging and computer aided graphics. The Cell and Tissue Imaging Core is available by appointment 24 hr/day for sample processing, technical assistance and training in the operation of imaging equipment. Through training and direct consultation, this group provides high quality, easy-to-access biostatistics service and guidance to investigator-initiated clinical studies and trials from concept to close-out. Services include:Р’В assistance in the development of study design and/or project data management and statistical analysis the level of support depends on the scale of the project, the support staff available, and the expertise of the investigator. The Biostatistics Core РІР‚вЂњ NCCC provides statistical support to clinical and basic science cancer-related research, working with members of the Clinical Investigations Support Office (CISO) on in-house clinical trials approved by the Clinical Investigations Committee (CIC). Saban Institute Small Animal Imaging Research Center The core also gives presentations on Biostatistics topics as well as on the use of Microsoft Access for data management. Services include:Р’В formulation of research questions, IRB and grant applications, sample size and power estimation, data management and forms development, statistical analysis, manuscript preparation and publication. The Biostatistics Core assists researchers with the design and analysis of clinical and laboratory studies. It is one of the longest standing and most widely used shared resources of the Cancer Center. The Bioreagent and Cell Culture Core supports cancer related research that requires in vitro experiments, provides reagents for cell culture and prepares bioreagents that are produced by cells grown in the Core. The ELISA services include: 1) cytokines measurement, 2) Alzheimer-related markers (Amyloid beta, phospho-tau) measurement, 3) hormones measurement including GH, human and mouse IGF-I& IGFBPs, etc., 4) metabolic biomarkers measurement including insulin, leptin and adiponectin, 5) mitochondrial derived peptides (MDPs) measurement including humanin and the other novel MDPs, 6) new assay development.
