Abstract:
Cytokines mediate and modulate different physiological systems. Accurate and sensitive methods for their measurement are being developed using bioassays, immunoassays, measurement of their mRNA, receptor binding assays, and immunochemical procedures. The most clinically significant cytokines and their assay methods are briefly reviewed. The need for standardization of assays is stressed.
