Disorders such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (e.g. Crohn's Disease), Septic Shock and Congestive Hart Failure are traditionally treated by diverse departments in classic medicine. However, their common denominator is a disregulation of the immune system.
The importance of the cytokine/interleukine repertoire for these immune-specific diseases lies in determination of serological levels of these substances.
Measurement of the cytokine/interleukine repertoire is an essential factor of a new approach in the diagnosis and treatment of the above mentioned diseases.
Sanquin (former CLB) offers a wide range of tests for serological and soluble membrane markers related to these proteins.
Additionally, our competent scientific staff is available to develop custom tests to cater for your research-needs.
