Plasma TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations (assay ranges 0.8–3100 pg/mL and 0.2–3800 pg/mL, respectively) were determined using a Bio-Plex 200 (Luminex) Instrument, and a high sensitivity bead-based multiplex immunoassay (Performance High Sensitivity Human Cytokine, R& D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), as previously described (Moieni et al., 2015a (link); Moieni et al., 2015b (link)). All plasma samples from each subject (baseline and all subsequent time points) were assayed on the same 96-well plate; every subject demonstrated the expected profile of change of cytokine concentrations over time, based on previous studies (Eisenberger et al., 2010 (link); Eisenberger et al., 2009 (link)). The mean intra-assay CV% of the standards was < 8% for TNF-α and IL-6; the inter-assay CV% of an internal laboratory quality control sample was < 13% for both analytes.

Data for baseline (T0) levels of IL-8, IL-6, and TNF-α were obtained by high sensitivity bead-based multiplex (Luminex) immunoassays (Performance High Sensitivity Human Cytokine, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), as previously described15 (link). Due to the strength of the original study design, which utilized up to seven repeated measures of cytokine values to profile inflammatory cytokine responses for each subject, the plasma sample from each time point was evaluated in a single determination. The average intra-assay CV% for standards was 4.3, 4.4, and 5.3 for IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α, respectively; the inter-assay CV% of an internal laboratory quality control sample was < 13.5% for all three analytes. The lower limit of detection for IL-8 was 0.1 and values lower than this limit were entered as 0.05 (1/2 the lower limit); n = 6 samples).

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.
