Cytokines are important mediators of cell-to-cell communication within the innate and adaptive immune systems. The expression of most cytokines is highly regulated and generally occurs in response to foreign or self-antigenic stimulation.

Healthcare providers can determine if your body is producing too many or too few cytokines by using a cytokine panel. A cytokine panel is a blood test that checks your cytokine levels. A healthcare provider draws a blood sample and tests it for cytokines associated with inflammation.

Results are used to understand the pathophysiology of immune, infectious, or inflammatory disorders, or may be used for research purposes. Cytokine levels may demonstrate diurnal variation. For longitudinal comparison, it is recommended that cytokine levels be determined at the same time of day.

Combining Olink Target 48 Cytokine and Olink Target 48 Immune Surveillance panels enables the detection of biomarkers covering key immunological processes, making it an ideal tool for identifying robust protein biomarker signatures across major therapeutic areas.

The Cytokine Human Magnetic 10-Plex Panel for the Luminex™ platform is specifically designed for quantifying human GM-CSF, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and TNF-α in serum, plasma, and tissue culture supernatant.

2021年10月4日 · What are Cytokine Panels? Cytokine panels are tests that measure the levels of several different cytokines in a person's blood. Cytokines are produced by various cells in the body, including white blood cells, and are involved in regulating the immune system, inflammation, and cell growth.

Cytokine Panel 13, Serum. Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed.

Collect specimen in Red, or SST tube. Spin and aliquot within 2 hours into a screw capped plastic tube. Freeze immediately, and send to Specimen Processing. Test is sent to ARUP Laboratories.

The Cytokine Human Magnetic 25-Plex Panel for the Luminex™ platform is specifically designed for quantifying human cytokines and chemokines in serum, plasma, and tissue culture supernatant.
