Including pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory targets relevant to IEC-HS—such as IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-10, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-18, CXCL9, and CXCL10.
Immune effector cell-associated HLH-like syndrome (IEC-HS) is an emerging complication observed in cell-based immunotherapies such as CAR-T cell therapy. Characterized by systemic inflammation, hypercytokinemia, and excessive immune activation, IEC-HS shares pathological parallels with classical hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), including elevated interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin-18 (IL-18), and other macrophage activation–associated cytokines.
Precise quantification of these cytokines is crucial for modeling IEC-HS mechanisms, understanding immune trajectory during CAR-T administration, and optimizing immunotherapeutic constructs to mitigate toxicity.

Creative Biolabs offers a dedicated IEC-HS Cytokine Detection Service developed for researchers focused on CAR-T-associated immune toxicities. This service provides quantitative measurement of key inflammatory mediators involved in HLH-like pathophysiology, using internally validated multiplex or single-target assay platforms, with flexibility across sample types and species.
Including pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory targets relevant to IEC-HS—such as IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-10, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-18, CXCL9, and CXCL10.
Analysis of surrogate indicators like soluble CD25 (sCD25), ferritin, and soluble CD163 to aid immune state interpretation.
Available for murine, human, or non-human primate (NHP) research applications, suitable for translational immunology models.
Compatible with serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants, and PBMC lysates.
High-sensitivity detection with strong signal linearity for dynamic range analysis.
This service supports both time-course experiments and endpoint analyses, providing comprehensive insight into cytokine kinetics during CAR-T expansion, persistence, or toxicity phases.
Cytokines included are selected based on literature-supported relevance to HLH-like inflammation and CAR-T–induced immune activation cascades.
Our detection systems are adaptable, using internal assay configurations optimized for high signal clarity and low cross-reactivity.
Ideal for monitoring cytokine fluctuations across multiple experimental timepoints in in vivo or ex vivo models.
Designed to integrate with our immunophenotyping and genomic profiling platforms to support multiplexed immune landscape studies.
Optional statistical packages include fold-change calculations, clustering analysis, and visualization such as heatmaps and cytokine trajectory plots.
Q1: Which cytokines are most indicative of IEC-HS in CAR-T models?
A1: Markers such as IFN-γ, IL-18, IL-6, CXCL9, and ferritin are consistently elevated in HLH-like responses and are included in our standard panel.
Q2: Can I tailor a panel for my model system?
A2: Yes. We offer fully customizable panels based on the species and cytokines of interest for your study design.
Q3: What types of samples are accepted?
A3: We accept serum, plasma, PBMC lysates, and cell culture supernatants. Sample integrity is assessed before testing.
Q4: Is quantitative comparison between groups supported?
A4: Absolutely. Our service includes absolute quantification and can include comparative statistical analysis upon request.
