Background | Cytokines play an important role in innate immunity, apoptosis, angiogenesis, cell growth and differentiation. They are involved in interactions between different cell types, cellular responses to environmental conditions, and maintenance of homeostasis. In addition, cytokines are also involved in most disease processes, including cancer and cardiac diseases. |
Application Notes | Completely cover array area with sample or buffer during incubation. Avoid foaming during incubation steps. Perform all incubation and wash steps under gentle rocking or rotation. Cover the incubation chamber with adhesive film during incubation, particularly when incubation is more than 2 hours or <70?μl 6="" 7="" 10="" 13="" of="" sample="" or="" reagent="" is="" used.="" several="" incubation="" steps="" such="" as="" step="" (blocking),="" (sample="" incubation),="" (detection="" antibody="" (cy3="" equivalent="" dyestreptavidin="" incubation)="" may="" be="" done="" overnight="" at="" 4?°c.="" please="" make="" sure="" to="" cover="" the="" chamber="" tightly="" prevent="" evaporation.="" <="" td=""> 70?μl> |
Comment |
The Quantibody arrays are quantitative multiplex ELISA arrays featuring fluorescent detection. The antibodies are spotted on glass slide solid supports and require a laser scanner for data collection. Cytokine standards are provided with the array for calculation of target protein concentrations. |
Sample Volume | 100 μL |
Assay Time | 6 h |
Plate | Glass Slide |
Protocol |
|
Sample Preparation |
Use serum-free conditioned media if possible. If serum-containing conditioned media is required, it is highly recommended that complete medium be used as a control since many types of sera contains cytokines. We recommend the following parameters for your samples: 50 to 100 l of original or diluted serum, plasma, cell culture media, or other body fluid, or 50-500 g/ml of protein for cell and tissue lysates. If you experience high background or the readings exceed the detection range, further dilution of your sample is recommended. |
Assay Procedure |
|
Calculation of Results |
Data extraction can be done using the GAL file that is specific for this array along with the microarray analysis software (GenePix, ScanArray Express, ArrayVision, MicroVigene, etc.). |
Assay Precision | Reproducibility: CV < 20% |
Restrictions | For Research Use only |
Handling Advice | Do not touch the surface of the slides, as the microarray slides are very sensitive. Hold the slides by the edges only. Handle all buffers and slides with powder free gloves. Handle glass slide/s in clean environment. The Quantibody slides do not have bar codes. To help distinguish one slide from another, transcribe the slide serial number from the slide bag to the back of the slide with an ultra-fine point permanent marker. Please Note:Red permanent marker can significantly interfere with fluorescent signal detection. We recommend marking your slides with a green, blue or black ultra-fine point permanent marker. Please write the number on the very bottom edge of the slide. Do not write on the arrayed well areas. |
Storage | -20 °C |
Storage Comment | For best results, store the entire kit frozen at -20°C upon arrival. Stored frozen, the kit will be stable for at least 6 months which is the duration of the product warranty period. Once thawed, store array slide(s), standard mix, detection antibody cocktail, and Cy3-Conjugated Streptavidin at -20°C and all other reagents undiluted at 4°C for no more than 3 months. |
Expiry Date | 6 months |
