(57) Abstract :
The inventive method employs a 'systems biology' approach to predicting biological responses resulting from exposure to the test
substance. In one embodiment, the invention provides an automated method for predicting the biological systems effects of a test
substance. In another embodiment, the invention provides a method for constructing a knowledgebase (or database) of response
profiles for reference substrances .with known biological systems effects. In another embodiment, the invention provides a set of
protocols and software tools used to carry out the profiling. Another embodiment of the invention is a panel of reagents and protocols
required for generating response profiles, either to create an knowledgebase, or to use with an existing knowledgebase and informatics
software to profile substance physiological effects. Another embodiment of the invention is a database of physiological profiles.
