MILLIPLEX^® Human Cytokine/Chemokine/Growth Factor Panel B 38-Plex Premix

^®®“Cytokine” is a general term used for a diverse group of small proteins, peptides or glycoproteins secreted by lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages and other cells that regulate immune responses, hematopoiesis and lymphocyte development. Cytokines include interleukins, interferons, chemokines and other signaling molecules. Growth factors are extracellular polypeptides that have a positive effect on cell growth and proliferation. They can stimulate growth in a variety of different cell types. Growth factors and cytokines are similar in structure and the way of action. Individual cytokines or growth factors are produced by multiple cell types. This is different from hormones, which tend to be made by specialized glands. Each cytokine or growth factor acts through its own receptor on target cells to generate signaling pathways, and as a consequence to regulate biological processes. Some intracellular signaling components are shared between cytokines and growth factors. Expression of cytokines or growth factors and their receptors is highly regulated. De-regulation may contribute to many diseases such as infectious disease, autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disease, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, neurological disorders, and cancer. Cytokine and growth factor research plays a significant role in achieving a deeper understanding of the immune system and combating related diseases.The MILLIPLEX^® portfolio offers the broadest selection of analytes across a wide range of disease states and species. Once the analytes of interest have been identified, you can rely on the quality that we build into each kit to produce results you can trust. In addition to the assay characteristics listed in the protocol, other performance criteria evaluated during the verification process include: cross-reactivity, dilution linearity, kit stability, and sample behavior (for example, detectability and stability).In addition, each panel and kit meet stringent manufacturing criteria to ensure batch to-batch reproducibility. The MILLIPLEX^® Human Cytokine/Chemokine/Growth Factor Panel B Magnetic Bead Panel enables you to focus on the therapeutic potential of cytokines and the modulation of cytokine expression. Coupled with the Luminex^® xMAP^® platform in a magnetic bead format, you receive the advantage of ideal speed and sensitivity, allowing quantitative multiplex detection of dozens of analytes simultaneously, which can dramatically improve productivity.
