Summary: This experiment provides the quantification of multiple cytokines and chemokines using multiplexed-Luminex technology based on beads containing specific antibodies. Serum cytokine levels reflect chronic or acute inflammation, and circulating cytokines and chemokines are altered in obesity. Cytokines Panel III include IL-20 (interleukin-20), IL-23, IL-27, IL-33, MDC (macrophage- derived chemokine; CCL-22), and TIMP-1 (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases). A service can be requested for all or any combination of listed cytokines/chemokines for customized multiplexed Luminex assay.
