two.1.4) Short description

Aberystwyth University is in the process of establishing state of the art veterinary research laboratories that will contribute to the fight against bovine tuberculosis (BTB). These laboratories will assist Welsh Government in their aim to eradicate BTB; BTB is the most pressing animal health issue for Wales today. By providing infrastructure and the expertise, these laboratories will contribute to the strategic preparedness of Wales to fight future disease incursion. These laboratories form part of the investment in capacity on BTB research and follow on from the establishment of the Centre of Excellence for BTB Research in Wales, Vet-Hub 1, the Wales Veterinary Centre, KESS Scholarships and the School of Veterinary Sciences at Aberystwyth University.

Capitalization on these investments requires equipping sate of the art laboratories that will enable the study of the bovine immune response to mycobacteria; these studies will provide the basis from which novel tools for the tackling of BTB will emerge. The studies to be undertaken in these laboratories will aim to gain a greater understanding of the bovine immune response to mycobacteria at the molecular, cellular, tissue and farm levels. Accordingly, the equipment required for these laboratories will fulfil the characteristics briefly described in each tender lot and it is divided into small scale equipment and large scale equipment.

The University of Aberystwyth is in the process of setting up world-class laboratories for the study of host-pathogen interactions in species of veterinary interest.

This would involve evaluation of the cells at the site of infection as well as the pathogen and the products secreted by both the host and the pathogen. Therefore, we are seeking to acquire a high end microscope which will permit the evaluation of histological slides that have been stained with H&E (bright field) or that have been fluorescently labelled (fluorescence field) for evaluation of the presence of specific molecular components, either through the use of antibodies or nucleic acid probes.

Aberystwyth University are currently developing world-class, state-of-the-art laboratory spaces to investigate host-pathogen interactions, particularly in response to pathogens of veterinary and zoonotic interest. Increasingly, the study of host-pathogen interactions also examines the role of cellular metabolism (of host or pathogen) in driving and shaping ongoing immune responses. As such, Aberystwyth University is inviting tenders to procure a small footprint platform with the ability to measure cellular metabolism such as mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement

The University of Aberystwyth is in the process of setting up world-class laboratories for the study of host-pathogen interactions in species of veterinary interest. Study of host-pathogen interactions requires the elucidation of the components released by the host’s cells and the pathogen following interactions with each other. Therefore, evaluation of the secretion of molecular messengers by host or pathogen cells is one of the tools we will use to determine the nature of the response of the host to different pathogens under different conditions. Accordingly, the University is seeking to source a multiplexing instrument capable of analysing up to a 100 different molecules in a single sample in a high through put manner with automated calibration and validation capabilities.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement

The University of Aberystwyth is in the process of setting up world-class laboratories for the study of host-pathogen interactions in species of veterinary interest. Study of host-pathogen interactions requires the elucidation of the response of the host to the pathogens. Once the host mounts an immune response to the pathogen, it is not expected that all the cells within a population will contribute to the same extent to the response. Therefore, there is a need to study the immune response of the host’s individual cells, within a population, to the pathogen at the transcription level. Therefore, the University is seeking to source a platform that will permit the isolation of single cells within a predefined cell population. The transcriptome of individual cells from a pre-defined population will then be evaluated using pre-defined gene probes.
