Select the assay format that is particularly advantageous for analyzing cytokines that act in networks or induce cascades of downstream cytokines.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiplexed ELISA allows for the simultaneous detection of multiple cytokines within a single sample. This is advantageous for analyzing cytokines that act in networks or induce cascades as it allows for the detection of multiple cytokines in a single assay, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the cytokine network. ELISpot, Polymerase chain reaction, and Agglutination are all single analyte assays and are therefore not as useful for analyzing cytokine networks.
