The analysis of inflammatory markers has been described previously.25 (link) In brief, a U-PLEX assay based on an electrochemiluminescent detection method (Meso Scale Diagnostics, Rockville, MD) was used to analyze the concentrations of 71 cytokines in plasma samples from patients (n = 13) with peripheral NeuP and healthy controls (n = 13). A MESO QUICKPLEX SQ 120 instrument equipped with DISCOVERY WORKBENCH data analysis software (Meso Scale Diagnostics, Rockville, MD) was used to collect and analyze data. Electrochemiluminescent signals from calibrators were fitted to a weighted 4-parametric logistic model to form standard curves.
