Human Th1/Th2 Luminex Performance Assay 13-plex Fixed Panel Summary

Assay Type	bead-based multiplex assay for the Luminex^® platform
Format	1 x 96-well microplate and antibody-coated beads
Analytes Detected	Please see analyte list in assay customization tool below.
Performance Validation	Luminex Assays are validated for use with cell culture supernatants, plasma and serum. All Luminex assays are tested for sensitivity, intra-assay precision, inter-assay precision and to ensure assay linearity for validated sample types. Antibody pairs are selected and tested to confirm the parallel detection of natural and recombinant standard protein and to ensure the accurate determination of target analytes within biological samples. Assays for each target analyte are screened against all target analytes to confirm low antibody cross-reactivity.

Background: Th1/Th2 Assay Kits

T helper cells (Th) play a vital role in the adaptive immune system by suppressing or regulating immune responses. After activation, T helper cells differentiate into T-helper (Th) 1 or Th2 effector cells. These two subsets are characterized by their distinct cytokine expression pattern and the immune function they mediate. Th1/Th2 paradigm provides rationale for developing new vaccines against infectious diseases and novel strategies for the therapy of allergic and autoimmune disorders.
Th1 and Th2 cells each produce a specialized combination of cytokines that depends on type of pathogen that the helper T cell has recognized—some cytokines are more effective than others in the process of eliminating certain invaders
