Cytokines and growth factors are proteins secreted primarily by immune system cells such as leucocytes.
They are a means of intercellular communication with both immune and non-immune system cells.
Upon binding to a cell membrane receptor, cytokines initiate a signal transduction cascade in their target cell.
Cytokines form a complex web of interactions since different cytokines can have similar effects, because cells interact with a variety of cytokines, and because cytokines may affect the activity and expression of other cytokines.
The Evidence Investigator is a compact bench-top biochip array technology analyser for the simultaneous analysis of a panel of tests in a single sample.
The cytokines and growth factors array of tests are presented on a single biochip.
All twelve tests are performed simultaneously using just one assay diluent, one panel-specific conjugate solution and one signal reagent.
