Serum concentrations of 17 different cytokines and immune mediators (Perforin, Granzyme A, Granzyme B, IFN-γ, GMCSF, sFas, sFasL, TNF-α, sCD137, MIP-1α (CCL3), MIP-1β (CCL4), IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13) were measured using a multiplex bead array assay from Merck Millipore (Milliplex Map Kit, #HCD8MAG–15 K, Burlington, MA, USA) according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Samples were measured in duplicate on a Luminex LX100 platform (Luminex Corporation Austin, TX, USA). All samples of the same patient were measured on the same plate. The data obtained were collected and analyzed via Bioplex 4.1.1 software (Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., Hercules, CA, USA). Five-parameter logistic regression (5PL) was used to approximate the standard curves.

C-peptide concentrations (ng/ml) were measured using an ELISA (Calbiotech, Spring Valley, CA, REF: CP1795) following the manufacturer’s instructions. IGF-1 was measured by ELISA following the manufacturer’s protocol (R&D Systems, DG100, Minneapolis, MN). Both ELISAs were read using the absorbance function on a Bio-Tek (Winooski, VT) plate reader. Insulin growth factor binding proteins (IGFBP) 1 through 7 were measured by multiplex kit per the manufacturer’s protocol (HIGFBP-53K, Millipore, Billerica, MA). Serum concentrations of the soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (sVEGFR) including sVEGFR-1, sVEGFR-2, and sVEGFR-3, as well as the soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE), and the soluble endothelial growth factor receptor (sEGFR) were determined using a multiplex kit for soluble cytokine receptors (HSCR-32K, Millipore) as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Further, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2, endothelial growth factor (EGF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) serum concentrations were measured using a multiplex human cytokine/chemokine kit (MPXHCYTO-60K, Millipore). Multiplex assays were analyzed on a Bio-Plex 100 using Bio-Plex 4.1 software (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
