tlooto Summary

Because several manufacturers offer reagents to quantitate the same cytokines on a single instrument, a comparison should be made to determine whether these kits yield similar data and whether these data are comparable to enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Abstract

Multiplex bead array assays permit simultaneous cytometric quantitation of multiple cytokines in solution by capturing these to spectrally distinct beads. Because several manufacturers offer reagents to quantitate the same cytokines on a single instrument, a comparison should be made to determine whether these kits yield similar data and whether these data are comparable to enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
