Luminex platform

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States, Germany

The Luminex platform is a multiplex assay technology that utilizes polystyrene microspheres for the simultaneous detection and quantification of multiple analytes in a single sample. The platform employs flow cytometry principles to identify and measure various biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, and small molecules.

Multiplex Cytokine Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For cytokine quantification, the Luminex® platform (Millipore, USA) was used following manufacturer’s instructions. Milliplex® Map kits (Rat Cytokine/Chemokine Panel) were used to determine the plasma concentration of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Briefly, each cytokine binds to its specific antibody-coated microsphere, which contains 2 fluorochromes. This combination of fluorochromes allows for the determination of which cytokine is bound to each microsphere. Additionally, another antibody binds to the cytokine-microsphere complex, thus determining the concentration of each cytokine.

Cytokine Profiling in Diabetes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After an overnight fasting for at least 10 hours when DK/DKA resolved, fasting blood samples were collected and centrifuged, and sera were collected for cytokine determination. The following cytokines were measured: interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A/CTLA-8, IL-17F, IL-21, IL-22, IL-23, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), programmed death-1 (PD-1), PD ligand 1 (PD-L1), cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4/CD152), CD40, transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1), TGFβ2, and TGFβ3. All these measurements of cytokines were performed using Milliplex MAP technology in the Luminex platform (Millipore, Billerica, MA). Immunology multiplex assay kits (HTH17MAG-14K-12, TGFBMAG-64K-03, and HCKPMAG-11K-04) were obtained from MERCK (MERCK Millipore Co., Billerica, MA, USA). All the collected serum samples were mixed and diluted at a ratio of 1:2 with buffer, and all samples, standards, and quality controls were assayed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Median fluorescent intensity (MFI) data were acquired using MILLIPLEX Analyst.V5.1 software, and a 5-parameter logistic method was used to calculate cytokine concentrations.

Biomarkers associated with macrophage activation, vascular inflammation as well as lymphocyte activation were measured. Ten blood-based biomarkers associated with macrophage activation (sCD163, sCD14, TNFα, GM-CSF, CCL2 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1: MCP-1)), IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, LPS, and MMP-2) [13 (link), 17 (link), 37 (link)-40 (link)], four with vascular inflammation (MPO, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1, and CRP) [22 (link), 41 (link), 42 (link)], and four with lymphocyte activation (sCD27, IFNγ, sIL-2Rα (sCD25), and IL-10) [39 (link), 43 (link), 44 (link)] were measured as previously described [27 (link)]. ELISA assays were used to measure sCD14, sCD163, matrix metalloprotease-2 (MMP-2), (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) and sCD27 (eBioscience, San Diego, CA). Plasma LPS was measured using the limulus amebocyte assay (LAL) Chromogenic Endpoint Assay. The remaining biomarkers were measured using the magnetic bead-based Luminex platform (Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). Supplemental figure 1 lists lower limits of detection, inter-assay coefficients of variance, and the distributions of raw biomarker vaues for each assay.

Circadian Regulation of Stress Hormones

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were killed by cervical dislocation and trunk blood was collected. For the gene expression studies, mice were killed for brain dissections at 2 distinct points of the day/light cycle (+ 3 h lights on ~ 10am and + 3 h lights off ~ 10 pm). Brains were immediately removed from the skull and the hypothalamus was fresh dissected on ice, snap frozen in liquid nitrogen then transferred to storage at − 80 °C until further use. Whole blood was left to clot for 30 min before separation of serum by centrifugation at 1100 g for 15 min, which was stored at − 20 °C until subsequent analysis. Corticosterone concentrations were assayed using an EIA as per manufacturer’s instructions (#501320, Caymen Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA). ACTH concentrations were determined by a commercial service provider (Cardinal Bio-Research, New Farm, QLD, Australia) using a Millipore Luminex platform with the MILIPLEX MAP mouse bone panel (MBNMAG-41K). One control sample from the ‘lights on + 3 h’ group failed and was excluded from the analysis.

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.
