ImmPort Purpose and History
•
NIH/NIAID/DAIT would like to:
– maximize the return on the public investment in basic, translational and clinical
research
– allow investigators to more effectively extract meaningful information from the vast
amounts of data generated from advanced research technologies
– => data sharing policy
•
Bioinformatics Integration Support Contract (BISC) to support data sharing for all
DAIT-funded programs - basic, translational and clinical research
•
Immunology Database and Analysis Portal (ImmPort) - www.ImmPort.org
– Archive and manage basic and clinical research data
– Integrate these research data with extensive biological knowledge
– Support analysis of these integrated data

Varicella:
Immune Response to Varicella Vaccination in Subjects
with Atopic Dermatitis Compared to Nonatopic
Controls
Objectives:
To determine if children with AD have Varicellaspecific cell mediated immune (CMI) responses
to varicella vaccination that differ from those of
nonatopic controls (Th2)
Endpoint:
1.
2.
3.
ELISPOT: number of Varicella-specific T-cell
ELISA: levels of Varicella-specific antibodies
Flow cytometry: perforin generation using 2color flow cytometry staining for both CD8 and
perforin.
(Perforin levels, which may contribute to defects
in CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte function).

• Evaluation of existing clinical data standards
– BRIDG – designed for supporting the conduct of clinical trials, not a study
repository optimized for analysis
– CDISC STDM – specification for SAS transport files to the FDA
– CDISC CDASH – models clinical encounters, but not sequence of events;
requires use of EPOCHs (contiguous blocks of time)
– None designed to manage mechanistic studies

Load File Examples

FLOCK v2.0 STEPS
1. File Conversion - Convert binary .fcs file into a data matrix
2. Data Cleansing - Remove boundary events (noise) in FSC and SSC dimensions
3. Data Shrinking - Collapse data toward distribution modes
4. Normalization - Z-score normalization for values in each dimension ((xi - µ)/SD)
5. Dimension Selection - Select most informative dimensions based on measures of dispersion and
distortion
6. FLOCK LoD
i. Partition each dimension to generate a hyper-grid
ii. Identify dense hyper-regions in hyper-grid
iii. Merge neighboring dense hyper-regions to define hyper-region groups (n)
iv. Determine centroids for each hyper-region group
v. Use n centroids to seed single round of distance-based clustering
7. FLOCK HiD - Refine population definition based on histogram partitioning
8. Group Merging - Merge close hyper-region groups based on [distance metric]
9. Centroid Calculation - Compute centroid for each hyper-region group
10. Clustering - Cluster events to nearest centroid
11. Population statistics - Summarize population proportions, intensity levels, etc.

Summary
• OBX is an ontology-informed clinical research data model
• Ontological framework incorporated provides for
extensibility and straightforward incorporation of ontology
terms as value sets
• Ontological framework also facilitated distributed data
model development and guides ongoing mapping strategies
• Successfully loaded several large, distinct clinical studies
• Developed user interfaces for data extraction and analysis
• Refinement through use – mapping, loading, extracting,
analysis
• Term submission to OBO Foundry ontologies, especially
