Simultaneous detection of multiple cytokines and chemokines from nonhuman primates using luminex technology

LD Giavedoni - Journal of immunological methods, 2005 - Elsevier
Cytokines and chemokines are soluble mediators of the immune system that play a crucial
role in intercellular signaling, and in the recruitment of cells to inflammation sites.
Identification of these molecules in nonhuman primates (NHP) is crucial for the
understanding of complex physiological and pathological mechanisms that occur in these
species, and to demonstrate whether these mechanisms function similarly in humans. The
