What are Cytokines?

In our body’s immune system, there exists a class of small yet powerful molecules that function like commanders, precisely regulating the actions of immune cells—these are cytokines. The Automated Cytokine Detection plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. In response to the growing health demands, we are excited to introduce a comprehensive cytokine testing menu from Poclight:

IL-1β、IL-2、IL-2R、IL-4、IL-5、IL-6、IL-8、IFN-a、IFN-γ、TNF-a、IL-10、IL-17、IL-12p70

Cytokines are vital for cell communication and play a significant role in immune responses. They help orchestrate the body’s defense mechanisms against infections and diseases, influencing inflammation, cell growth, and tissue repair. Understanding the levels and types of cytokines present can provide valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms of diseases such as autoimmune disorders, infections, and cancers. Therefore, detection and quantification of cytokines and other biomarkers is essential for clinicians to effective treatment plans for their patients.

Poclight's cytokine testing services are applicable across various medical specialties. They are particularly valuable in departments such as immunology, infectious diseases, oncology, and rheumatology. By utilizing Poclight's testing menu, healthcare providers can gain critical information that aids in patient management and improves health outcomes.

Poclight's cytokine testing in clinical pain practice is designed to meet the diverse needs of healthcare professionals and their patients. By offering advanced testing capabilities, we empower clinicians to make informed decisions and enhance their diagnostic accuracy.
