Cytokines are hormone-like proteins produced by a variety of cell types.
Under the PeliKine™ trade name, Sanquin offers a range of ELISA kits for the detection of human cytokines from biological samples ( blood, plasma and urine, cell culture supernatent)
The Cytokine detection kits are available in 2 formats:
- Complete kits containing pre-coated 96 well microtitre plates in break-apart strip format together with all the reagents and solutions necessary to permit quantification of the human cytokine.
- Compact kits, which include all the essential reagents with an optimised protocol, ensuring a high quality immunoassay, providing a substantial cost saving for laboratories who regularly perform ELISA assays.
Compact kits are supplied as 3 x 96 well plates (uncoated) plus pre-optimised combinations of paired antibodies.
Both ELISA kit formats include Sanquin's proprietary HPE (High Performance ELISA) buffer which acts to eliminate matrix effects and ensures linearity of dose-response curves.
