Luminex-Based Multiplex Cytokine Analysis
Measure Cytokines from murine plasma samples, including IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, and TNF-α simultaneously using the multiplexed kit "Mouse High Sensitivity T Cell Magnetic Bead Panel" (MHSTCMAG-70K, MILLIPLEX, EMD Millipore Corp., Billerica, MA, USA).
Perform the assay according to the manufacturer's instructions with an Overnight incubation step (17 hours) at 4 °C .

Analyze samples as single values and use two controls with corresponding acceptance ranges, provided with the kit, for quality control purposes.
Perform the readout on a FLEXMAP 3D® instrument (Luminex Corp., Austin, TX, USA).
Acquire data using Luminex xPONENT® software (version 4.3) and determine mean fluorescence intensity (MFI).
Use the Bio-Plex ManagerTM software (version 6.2) (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) for back-calculation of unknown cytokine concentrations.
