Abstract Cytokines are key immunoregulatory proteins produced by white blood cells and other cell types. These low molecular weight proteins are involved in a wide variety of disease states, including inflammation and oncogenesis. We have chosen ten of the most widely publicized cytokines associated with the Th1/Th2 subsets (IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-12 (p70), IL-13, IFN-γ) and inflammation (IL-1 β , IL-6, TNF-α) to develop a multiplex immunoassay on the Bio-Plex suspension array system (based on Luminex xMAP technology). The validation of this sandwich immunoassay is described. This assay is unique in that it incorporates the use of magnetic beads and uses newly designed human serum and plasma standard diluents. The 10-plex cytokine assay was run in five independent assays for each standard diluent, and validated for standard curve accuracy (80–120%), precision (intra ≤10% CV; inter ≤15% CV), sensitivity (≤1 pg/ml), specificity (≤1% cross-reactivity), and parallelism (<10% slope difference) using three independent donors for human serum and plasma samples, respectively. Assay robustness was determined by 96-well plate uniformity (3–7% CV) tests. For population analysis, cytokine levels were determined in 100 normal human samples. Overall, the ten cytokine assays were highly sensitive and precise — ideal for clinical research purposes. The future direction is to transfer this application onto an automated 96-well platform for increased throughput.
