Introduction
Bio-Plex Pro ™ Human Th17 Cytokine Assays
Bio-Plex Pro human Th17 cytokine assays are designed to meet the needs
of the most demanding preclinical and clinical research environments.
These magnetic bead-based multiplex immunoassays include a
comprehensive blend of soluble biomarkers involved in the T-helper cell
type 17 immune response pathway, a key driver of autoimmune diseases,
as well as the body’s response to microbial infection. With diluents
optimized for enhanced performance in clinical matrices, a fast protocol,
and a flexible kit format, the Human Th17 cytokine assays promise to make
multiplexing easier and more reliable than ever.
Multiplexing with Bio-Plex Pro Assays
Bio-Plex Pro assays enable researchers to quantify multiple protein
biomarkers in a single well of a 96-well plate in just 3 to 4 hr. These
robust immunoassays require as little as 12.5 µl of serum or plasma,
or 50 µl of other biological fluid. The use of magnetic (MagPlex) beads
allows researchers to automate wash steps on a Bio-Plex Pro (or similar)
wash station. Magnetic separation offers greater convenience and
reproducibility compared to vacuum filtration.
