Cytokines, immunomodulatory polypeptides that play key roles in both adaptive and innate immune responses, are one of the regulatory mechanisms of the immune system. Acting at the recognition, activation or effector phases of an immune response, cytokines modulate the development and functional activities of the subtypes of T cells, B cells and myeloid cells. Since chronic inflammation and aberrant immune response contribute to many disease states, research involving cytokines and chemokines plays a significant role in achieving a deeper understanding of the etiology and progression of diseases such as infectious disease, autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disease, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, neurological disorders and cancer. The MILLIPLEX(R) Non-Human Primate Cytokine Panel II is a 25 plex kit to be used for the simultaneous quantification of any or all of the following analytes in monkey serum, plasma, tissue/cell lysate and culture supernatant samples: sCD137, Eotaxin, sFASL, FGF-2, Fractalkine, Granzyme A, Granzyme B, IL-1alpha, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-16, IL-17A, IL-17E/IL-25, IL-21, IL-22, IL-23, IL-28A, IL-31, IL-33, IP-10, MIP-3alpha, Perforin, RANTES and TNFbeta. The Luminex(R) xMAP(R) 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.
