Cytokine Immunoassay Kits

Immunoassays for Cytokine Secretion Analysis Products and Resources

Cytokine profiling and quantification are essential for characterizing immune responses, detecting disease-associated biomarkers, and monitoring responses to therapy. To support these studies, R&D Systems offers a wide selection of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for cytokine analysis.

R&D Systems ELISA Kits provide the highest levels of performance and consistency in analyte quantification. Built using our own in-house antibodies, proteins, and diluents, each kit component and complete kit are carefully tested throughout development and manufacturing. This allows us to ensure that every R&D Systems ELISA meets our rigorous standards for specificity, recovery, linearity, and precision, so you can have confidence in your results from one experiment to the next.

ELISpot Kits and ELISpot Development Modules for Detecting Cytokine-Secreting Cells

ELISpot Kits are highly sensitive, microplate-based assays for the detection of cytokine-secreting cells. Complete ELISpot Kits are ready-to-run and require no assay development or refinement. As an alternative to our complete kits, we also offer ELISpot Development Modules, which provide a flexible, do-it-yourself format for ELISpot development.

  • Accurate quantitation – Small, crisp spots allow for simple and more quantitation and the largest dynamic range (number of detectable spots/well) on the market
  • High sensitivity – ELISpot Assays can measure responses with frequencies below 1 in 100,000 cells – up to 20% more sensitive than our competition
  • Assurance in the assay – We are the only company that provides recombinant protein positive controls

Multiplex Assays for Cytokine Analysis

Proteome Profiler Cytokine Antibody Arrays

Proteome Profiler Antibody Arrays are membrane-based arrays designed to simultaneous measure up to 119 proteins in a single sample. They provide a simple, economical, semi-quantitative multiplex assay for early stage discovery research. The arrays utilize chemiluminescence for detection, so membranes can be assessed for protein levels in the same manner as traditional Western blots.
