Comparison of Commercial Suppliers of Bead-Based Quantitative Multiplex Cytokine Assays

This whitepaper determines the accuracy of various commercially supplied Luminex® xMAP®-based multiplex immunoassays in quantitating secreted cytokine levels using stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PMBCs) or recombinant standards diluted in normal serum to determine the sensitivity, dynamic range, and scalability of multiplexing experiments.
