Cytokine receptors are receptors that bind cytokines. In recent years, cytokine receptors have caught much more attentions than cytokines themselves. Maybe this is because of their remarkable characteristics or because a deficiency of cytokine receptors has now been directly linked to certain debilitating immunodeficiency states.
Creative BioMart, a world leading biotech company dedicated to providing quality custom analytical and translational services, has a revolutionary new platform designed for enrichment and highly detection of cytokine secreting cells. The company offers a wide range of tools for the study of cytokines, chemokines, and their receptors which include active proteins, antibodies, ELISAs, Multiplex Assays, primers and more.
The new platform allows:
- Magnetic enrichment of viable cytokine-secreting cells for enhanced detection sensitivity of one antigen-specific T cell per million cells
- Isolated cells can immediately be used for downstream applications, e.g., cell culture and analysis
- Analysis of cytokine secretion at single-cell level
- Simultaneous phenotyping of cytokine-secreting cells for detailed information on subsets and activation status
- Detection of co-expression of different cytokines
- Simultaneous staining with peptide tetramers for analysis of cell function
