WELCOME to the ImmunoChip Homepage of the National Institutes of Health. The ImmunoChip was developed by Matthias Lorenz, Ph.D. (NCI) at the Advanced Technology Center of the National Cancer Institute. The project was initially sponsored by Edison Liu, MD and is now sponsored by Dinah Singer, Ph.D. (NCI). The ImmunoChip is a unique cDNA microarray specifically designed for mouse immunology research. The chip was constructed by developing and using a bioinformatics algorithm to select the best available clones representing more than 13000 different immunological gene clusters. The ImmunoChip allows the analysis of differential RNA expression between cells derived from mice or cell lines. The ImmunoChip is suitable for immunological experiments addressing questions in innate and adaptive basic immunology, tumor immunology, cancer biology of immune cells, aging, infection immunology, autoimmune diseases, allergy, and drug development against these diseases.
