Cytokines Panel
For the detection and measurement of important inflammation signaling molecules
Details About this Test
- Cytokines modulate the immune system and can be released as both innate and adaptive immune responses
- Cytokines can be both pro- and anti-inflammatory, depending on a variety of factors
- They can point to underlying disorders such as autoimmunity or tumors
- If an underlying disorder is already recognized, cytokines may be associated with the severity of the immune response
- Vibrant provides the most comprehensive cytokine panel available, to understand severity of the inflammatory process involved
- The Cytokines panel may be able to aid in assessing the severity of inflammation involved in autoimmune conditions
- This panel may provide insight into Infections like Lyme disease, such as IL-23 in post-Lyme disease symptomatic individuals, and IL-15 and IL-17 in Lyme arthritis prevention
- Cytokines are important to measure in anti-aging medicine, too. IL-1 alpha is important in the context of senescent cells, and low levels are associated with decreased age-related issues in senescent cells
- High IFN gamma is seen in individuals with extreme food sensitivities and it has been shown to damage the intestinal lining

Do I need to be fasting for the Cytokines pane ?
Fasting is not required prior to this test.
Is there special handling of samples required for the Cytokines Panel?
Yes. Due to the rapid breakdown of some of the markers being measured on this panel, samples are required to be shipped on dry ice. If you are an ordering provider, please contact your territory sales representative or support@vibrant-america.com for more information, or find our dry ice retailer locator once signed into your Provider Portal account. If you are a patient, please refer questions about sample collection and handling to your ordering provider.
