Figure 1.

Dynamic ranges of the Luminex bead-based fluorescence (LMX) and Meso Scale Discovery electrochemiluminescence (MSD) multiplex cytokine immunoassay kits. Ranges of quantification were determined on standard calibration curves. With 3 exceptions (ie, IFN-γ, IL-8, and IL-21), the low-end of the remaining 16/19 shared analytes’ dynamic ranges was lower with the MSD platform compared to the LMX assay. Conversely, and with 2 exceptions (ie, IL-17A and IL-21), the high-end of the dynamic range was greater with the LMX assay versus the MSD assay. In 2 instances (IL-4 and IL-10), the differences in both upper and lower quantification levels differed by at least an order of magnitude between the 2 assays.
