Merck, PCYTMAG-23K-13, MILLIPLEX® Porcine Cytokine and Chemokine Magnetic Bead Panel - Immunology Multiplex Assay

With a similarity to humans in heart size, blood flow rate, skin, liver enzymes and bone healing, porcine models have replaced many canine and non-human primate models in many research areas such as cardiovascular, toxicology, pharmacology, aging and bone. “Minipigs,” bred to retain the similar heart size and function as humans, but age without growing too large, have been used for long term preclinical or multi-generational studies which may be performed in a comparatively short period of time. MILLIPLEX® Porcine Cytokine/Chemokine Panel can be used for the simultaneous quantification of any or all of the following analytes in porcine tissue/cell lysate and culture supernatant samples and serum or plasma samples: GM-CSF, IFNγ, IL-1α, IL-1ra, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-18 and TNFα. This kit uses a 96-well format, contains a lyophilized standard cocktail, two internal assay quality controls and can measure up to 38 samples in duplicate. The Luminex® xMAP® platform uses a magnetic bead immunoassay format for ideal speed and sensitivity to quantitate multiple analytes simultaneously, dramatically improving productivity while conserving valuable sample volume. Panel Type: Cytokines/Chemokines
