Cytokine detection is an essential test in the process of drug development, especially in cell therapies. The measurement of cytokine levels and soluble receptors is commonly used across the therapeutic development cycle. This includes quantifying various cytokines, including IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ, and TNF-α, as well as cytokine panels such as Th1 and Th2 cytokines.

Multiplexing, especially for cytokine detection, can significantly reduce lab costs and assay time by evaluating multiple cytokines at the same time. If you are looking to quantify multiple cytokines, multiplexing should be your first choice!
