New CSI Tool Analyzes Antibodies新的貨櫃安全倡議的工具，分析了抗體
AP |鴨| Federal researchers say they’ve developed a human identification test that’s faster and possibly cheaper than DNA testing.聯邦研究人員說，他們已經制定了一個人類鑑定測試的速度，並可能較DNA測試。 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.這將是一個輕便的新武器，在阿森納的偵探，法醫專家和軍事，雖然沒有人會期望它來取代DNA分析-和它的推動者說這是不打算。
The new method analyzes antibodies.新的方法，分析了抗體。 Each person has a unique antibody bar code that can be gleaned from blood, saliva or other bodily fluids.每個人都有一個獨特的抗體條碼，可以從收集的血液，唾液或其他體液。 Antibodies are proteins used by the body to fend off viruses or perform routine physiological housekeeping.抗體蛋白所用的機構，以擊退病毒或執行日常的生理家務。
“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是身體的代碼描述了您的… …並在許多方面，那麼您的抗體，博士說： ”美意湯普森，化學工程師，在愛達荷國家實驗室誰的工作，與其他研究人員，以完善的測試，為過去10年。
The scientists say an antibody profile can yield results faster and more cheaply and be performed in the field with minimal training.科學家說，一種抗體的個人資料可以取得成果更快，更便宜和執行該領域的與最少的培訓。 National lab administrators have licensed the technology exclusively to Identity Sciences LLC in Alpharetta, Ga.國家重點實驗室管理員已授權技術專科學LLC公司的身份在alpharetta ，喬治亞州
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.喬治亞州啟動計劃開始推出了測試工具和培訓執法人員，軍事人員和法醫和醫療實驗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.縣哈斯，市場營銷的副總裁說，試驗是不打算取代DNA測試，承認的黃金標準，在人力，以資識別。
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.但哈斯說，價值的抗體剖面是作為篩選工具，以幫助意義的一個犯罪現場，清理整頓血步道或飛濺從多個受害人或更迅速地找出車身零件在戰場上或在現場的一場災難一樣， 2001年9月11日的襲擊。
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.它也可能數目減少DNA測試所需的調查，可能節省時間和金錢，緩和日益增加的積壓，他說。 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.從測試的結果對血清或幹血可以準備就緒，在兩小時內，一小部分，所花費的時間執行類似測試的DNA相符。
However, a major drawback for now is the lack of a national antibody database.然而，一個主要的缺點，現在是缺乏一個全國性抗體數據庫。 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.這是原因之一，抗體測試是沒有可能被用來在開始調查，以連結嫌疑人的罪行或建立可能的原因的理由簽發了逮捕證。
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.公司官員說，測試版，由法醫科學家在模擬犯罪現場，在全國七個區域國家已產生了積極效果，並強化概念，即一個熱心的市場等待著。 The company declined to say where the testing occurred, citing nondisclosure agreements with participants.該公司拒絕透露如果測試發生為由，簽署保密協議，與參加者。
The company has not yet put a price tag on the field kits.該公司還沒有提出一個價格標籤上外地包。 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.但主管說，他們的產品將會有很明顯的較DNA分析，它可以運行在任何地方從500元到3000美元每樣本，因為它需要先進的設備和實驗室的時間。
“We don’t see this yet as a product to take to court,” said Gene Venesky, vice president of Identity Sciences. “我們不認為這然而，作為一個產品採取向法院表示， ”基因venesky ，副總統的身分科學。 “But we do see this as a way to get the case moving forward toward a final, legal resolution.” “但我們認為這是一個辦法讓案件邁步向前走向最後，法律的決議” 。
Still, some forensics experts say that kind of scrutiny may be unavoidable, especially if the test takes on a bigger crime-fighting role.還有，一些法醫專家們說，種的審議，可能是無可避免的，特別是如果測試需要在一個更大的打擊犯罪的作用。
“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. “有很大的潛力，在這裡，說： ”勞倫斯kobilinsky ，一個DNA專家和主席部法醫學在約翰Jay刑事司法學院在紐約舉行。 “Any time you can develop a quick and easy screen for something … that is a good thing.” “任何時候您都可以建立一個快速，簡單且屏幕上的東西…這是一件好事” 。
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，是需要時間的任何新的法醫測試，以獲得認可放在最重要的-州和聯邦法院。 If the new tests begin appearing in police reports, defense attorneys can be expected to challenge their validity.如果新的考驗開始出現在警方的報告，辯護律師可以預料的挑戰，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. “如果這些試驗是要獲得法庭，我認為這是不可避免的，他們不是去獲接納為證據，直到他們能證明可靠，準確”的和可信賴的， kobilinsky說。 “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.” “我打賭，這是一個犯罪現場的單位是要很小心使用這個如果不是的，將會對任何有利於在訴訟中” 。
