Cytokine Assays - From Stephen Adelstein

Dear All

Thanks to Stephen Adelstein for his information on assay availability

We assay for IL-6 (and selected other cytokines) at RPA on an irregular cycle 

– that is, results may be delayed depending on the number of samples that we receive.  We use addressable bead assays.

In my (limited) experience the levels of IL-6 reflect CRP measurement very closely.
