Merck, MCYTMAG-70K-PX32, MILLIPLEX® Mouse Cytokine/Chemokine Magnetic Bead Panel - Premixed 32 Plex - Immunology Multiplex Assay

The immune system is an organized complex network of biological structures and processes that protect against disease. For example, cytokine and chemokines mediate interactions between cells directly, regulating target immune cell responses. These responses result in inflammation where the immune system attempts to eradicate foreign antigens and begin the healing process. Consequently, the inflammatory process plays a key protective role in immunity. In addition, cytokine and chemokine research is essential in understanding the immune system and its multi-faceted response to most antigens, as well as disease states such as autoimmune disease, allergic reactions, sepsis, and cancer. To identify specific cytokines involved in any inflammatory or immune response, it might be necessary to screen panels of cytokines, often requiring some level of automation and/or high throughput. Beads can make the process of automation and high throughput screening easier with features such as walk-away washing. Advantages even outside automation include: More flexible plate and plate washer options • Improved performance with turbid serum/plasma samples •Assay results equivalent to non- beads •Automated washing avoids many problems associated with vacuum filtration washing MILLIPLEX® Mouse Cytokine / Chemokine panel enables you to focus on the therapeutic potential of cytokines as well as the modulation of cytokine expression. Coupled with the Luminex® xMAP® platform in a 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. Panel Type: Cytokines/Chemokines
