The study of cytokines has been of great interest to researchers in many scientific disciplines,including Immunology and Cell Biology. Multiple stimulatory and inhibitory cytokines and their receptors form the basis for a sophisticated cellular communication network. Because of the complexity of the cytokine network, the simultaneous measurement of multiple cytokines in individual biological samples is desirable.^1,2）Herein, we describe the BD Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) System and its application to specifically and reproducibly measure several distinct cytokine proteins within small volume samples.
