Cytokines are proteins produced by white blood cells that act as messengers to alert the body to certain ailments. Infections, autoimmune conditions, and other diseases can trigger cytokine production, causing symptoms such as inflammation and fever. Researchers are looking for ways to control cytokine production to develop more effective drugs to treat conditions such as […]
Mouse cytokines are proteins secreted by the immune system for cell signaling. They can be used as research and diagnostic tools to determine immune responses and health. Cytokine panels can be assembled into kits to evaluate unknown samples and track changes in the immune system. Researchers can use cytokine tests to learn more about their […]
A cytokine test determines the types or concentrations of cytokine molecules in a biological sample. Cytokines are small proteins that act as signal carriers between cells. The test is used in research and treatment monitoring for diseases that involve cytokines. There are several types of cytokine tests, including variations of the enzyme immunosorbent assay. A […]
Cytokines are proteins that regulate the immune system’s response to threats. They can affect different cell types and perform multiple functions. Some cytokines are involved in the innate immune system, while others play a role in the adaptive immune system. Excessive cytokine production can cause severe tissue inflammation and lead to life-threatening conditions. Cytokines are […]
Cytokines are small proteins that regulate immunity and inflammation by binding to specific receptors on target cells. There are many types of cytokines and receptors, with interleukin being the broadest category. Cytokine activity can be blocked by antagonistic molecules that either change the shape of the cytokine or bind to the receptor without activating it. […]
Cytokine expression regulates the production of proteins that send signals to the immune system, promoting inflammation and preventing infection. Inappropriate expression can lead to autoimmune diseases such as arthritis. TNF is a crucial cytokine involved in both inflammation and cancer cell destruction. In osteoarthritis, TNF and IL-1 prevent tissue repair and healing. Therapy focuses on […]
