Bioanalytical Chemistry of Cytokines–a Review

Abstract

Cytokines are bioactive proteins produced by many different cells of the immune system. Due to their role in different inflammatory disease states and maintaining homeostasis, there is enormous clinical interest in the quantitation of cytokines. The typical standard methods for quantitation of cytokines are immunoassay-based techniques including enzyme-linked immusorbent assays (ELISA) and bead-based immunoassays read by either standard or modified flow cytometers. A review of recent developments in analytical methods for measurements of cytokine proteins is provided. This review briefly covers cytokine biology and the analysis challenges associated with measurement of these biomarker proteins for understanding both health and disease. New techniques applied to immunoassay-based assays are presented along with the uses of aptamers, electrochemistry, mass spectrometry, optical resonator-based methods. Methods used for elucidating the release of cytokines from single cells as well as in vivo collection methods are described.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • ELISA is the most widely used label-based immunoassay to quantify soluble protein in liquid biopsies such as serum and plasma.

    “The most widely used label-based immunoassay to quantify soluble protein in liquid biopsies such as serum and plasma is the Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) (3).”

    From Tumor-Induced Inflammatory Cytokines and the Emerging Diagnostic Devices for Cancer Detection and Prognosis (2021) · cites this paper as [3]

    Section 2.1 (page unavailable) says ELISA platforms are widely available and used to quantify cytokines, and Section 5 describes labeled detection antibodies in standard cytokine immunoassays. The review does not establish that ELISA is the most widely used label-based immunoassay for soluble proteins generally in serum and plasma; that ranking and broader scope go beyond its statement.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
