Cytokines play a central role in the immune response to infection, acting as messengers that regulate inflammation, immune cell recruitment, and the clearance of pathogens. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17A, and TNFα are released early to initiate and amplify the immune response to infection. Anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10 and TGFβ help to suppress inflammation and prevent tissue damage. Signosis’ Human Infection Response ELISA Strip Kit quantitatively profiles and measures 8 cytokines which are involved in the immune response to infection. The list of cytokines is as follows: TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17A, IL-10, TGFβ, IL-12, and IL-13.
