New CSI Tool Analyzes Antibodies新的货柜安全倡议的工具，分析了抗体
AP |鸭| Federal researchers say they’ve developed a human identification test that’s faster and possibly cheaper than DNA testing.联邦研究人员说，他们已经制定了一个人类鉴定测试的速度，并可能较DNA测试。 It would be a handy new weapon in the arsenal for detectives, forensic experts and the military, though no one expects it to replace DNA analysis - and its promoters say it is not intended to.这将是一个轻便的新武器，在阿森纳的侦探，法医专家和军事，虽然没有人会期望它来取代DNA分析-和它的推动者说这是不打算。
The new method analyzes antibodies.新的方法，分析了抗体。 Each person has a unique antibody bar code that can be gleaned from blood, saliva or other bodily fluids.每个人都有一个独特的抗体条码，可以从收集的血液，唾液或其他体液。 Antibodies are proteins used by the body to fend off viruses or perform routine physiological housekeeping.抗体蛋白所用的机构，以击退病毒或执行日常的生理家务。
“DNA is a physical code that describes you … and in many ways so are your antibodies,” said Dr. Vicki Thompson, a chemical engineer at the Idaho National Laboratory who’s been working with other researchers to perfect the test for the past 10 years. “ DNA是身体的代码描述了您的… …并在许多方面，那么您的抗体，博士说： ”美意汤普森，化学工程师，在爱达荷国家实验室谁的工作，与其他研究人员，以完善的测试，为过去10年。
The scientists say an antibody profile can yield results faster and more cheaply and be performed in the field with minimal training.科学家说，一种抗体的个人资料可以取得成果更快，更便宜和执行该领域的与最少的培训。 National lab administrators have licensed the technology exclusively to Identity Sciences LLC in Alpharetta, Ga.国家重点实验室管理员已授权技术专科学LLC公司的身份在alpharetta ，乔治亚州
The Georgia startup plans to begin rolling out test kits and training to law enforcement, the military and forensic and medical labs around the globe by fall of 2009.乔治亚州启动计划开始推出了测试工具和培训执法人员，军事人员和法医和医疗实验室在全球各地所下降，到2009年。 Ken Haas, vice president of marketing, says the test is not intended to supplant DNA testing, the recognized gold standard in human identification.县哈斯，市场营销的副总裁说，试验是不打算取代DNA测试，承认的黄金标准，在人力，以资识别。
But Haas says the value of antibody profiling is as a screening tool to help make sense of a crime scene, sort out the blood trails or spatter from multiple victims or more quickly identify body parts on a battlefield or at the scene of a disaster like the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.但哈斯说，价值的抗体剖面是作为筛选工具，以帮助意义的一个犯罪现场，清理整顿血步道或飞溅从多个受害人或更迅速地找出车身零件在战场上或在现场的一场灾难一样， 2001年9月11日的袭击。
It may also reduce the number of DNA tests required in an investigation, potentially saving time and money and easing the growing backlog, he said.它也可能数目减少DNA测试所需的调查，可能节省时间和金钱，缓和日益增加的积压，他说。 Results from tests on blood serum or dried blood can be ready in two hours, a fraction of the time it takes to run similar tests for DNA matches.从测试的结果对血清或干血可以准备就绪，在两小时内，一小部分，所花费的时间执行类似测试的DNA相符。
However, a major drawback for now is the lack of a national antibody database.然而，一个主要的缺点，现在是缺乏一个全国性抗体数据库。 That’s one of the reasons antibody testing is not likely to be used at the outset of an investigation to link suspects to crimes or establish probable cause to justify issuing an arrest warrant.这是原因之一，抗体测试是没有可能被用来在开始调查，以连结嫌疑人的罪行或建立可能的原因的理由签发了逮捕证。
Company officials say beta testing by forensic scientists at simulated crime scenes at seven locations across the country has produced positive results and reinforced the notion that an eager market awaits.公司官员说，测试版，由法医科学家在模拟犯罪现场，在全国七个区域国家已产生了积极效果，并强化概念，即一个热心的市场等待着。 The company declined to say where the testing occurred, citing nondisclosure agreements with participants.该公司拒绝透露如果测试发生为由，签署保密协议，与参加者。
The company has not yet put a price tag on the field kits.该公司还没有提出一个价格标签上外地包。 But executives say their product will be significantly cheaper than DNA analysis, which can run anywhere from $500 to $3,000 per sample because it requires sophisticated equipment and lab time.但主管说，他们的产品将会有很明显的较DNA分析，它可以运行在任何地方从500元到3000美元每样本，因为它需要先进的设备和实验室的时间。
“We don’t see this yet as a product to take to court,” said Gene Venesky, vice president of Identity Sciences. “我们不认为这然而，作为一个产品采取向法院表示， ”基因venesky ，副总统的身分科学。 “But we do see this as a way to get the case moving forward toward a final, legal resolution.” “但我们认为这是一个办法让案件迈步向前走向最后，法律的决议” 。
Still, some forensics experts say that kind of scrutiny may be unavoidable, especially if the test takes on a bigger crime-fighting role.还有，一些法医专家们说，种的审议，可能是无可避免的，特别是如果测试需要在一个更大的打击犯罪的作用。
“There is a lot of potential here,” said Lawrence Kobilinsky, a DNA expert and chairman of the Department of Forensic Science at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. “有很大的潜力，在这里，说： ”劳伦斯kobilinsky ，一个DNA专家和主席部法医学在约翰Jay刑事司法学院在纽约举行。 “Any time you can develop a quick and easy screen for something … that is a good thing.” “任何时候您都可以建立一个快速，简单且屏幕上的东西…这是一件好事” 。
But Kobilinsky and others caution that it takes time for any new forensic test to gain acceptance where it matters most - state and federal courthouses.但kobilinsky和其他人提出警告，是需要时间的任何新的法医测试，以获得认可放在最重要的-州和联邦法院。 If the new tests begin appearing in police reports, defense attorneys can be expected to challenge their validity.如果新的考验开始出现在警方的报告，辩护律师可以预料的挑战，其有效性。
“If these tests are going to get to the courtroom, which I think is inevitable, they are not going to be admissible as evidence until they can be proven reliable, accurate” and trustworthy, Kobilinsky said. “如果这些试验是要获得法庭，我认为这是不可避免的，他们不是去获接纳为证据，直到他们能证明可靠，准确”的和可信赖的， kobilinsky说。 “My bet is that a crime scene unit is going to be very careful about using this if it’s not going to be of any benefit in litigation.” “我打赌，这是一个犯罪现场的单位是要很小心使用这个如果不是的，将会对任何有利于在诉讼中” 。
