FACService is a service mark of Becton Dickinson and Company FastImmune Cytokine Troubleshooting Tips With increased interest in cytokine regulation of cellular growth and differentiation, many investigators are turning to methods for analyzing cytokine production.
Most methods involve measuring the amount of secreted cytokines present in serum or supernatant.
In addition to requiring longer activation times, these methods do not enable the investigator to determine the phenotypes of the cytokine-producing cells. The FastImmune intracellular staining system measures the expression of cytokines within cells. When this system is used in combination with cell-surface or intracellular phenotyping, the production of cytokines by specific cell types can be assessed. This methodology has been published in the Immune Function Application Note 1.
