Introduction of ELISPOT Assay Service
ELISPOT is a good choice to detect cytokines spontaneously, such as IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IL-2, and IL-4, which are produced by peripheral blood lymphocytes. To measure antigen-specific T cells, which typically occur at low frequency in vivo, ELISPOT techniques are also highly sensitive functional assays. Creative Biolabs offers ELISPOT assays using commercially available or custom assays to support our clients' R&D projects, and we provide validation services.

Multi-Analyte Profiling
The team at Creative Biolabs provided exceptional support. Their ELISPOT assay was crucial for our multi-analyte cytokine profiling, and their clear data reports made it easy to interpret our results and prepare for publication. - L*ra M.
-
High Reproducibility
We needed a reliable way to compare the immune response across different patient cohorts for our autoimmune disease study. The reproducibility of Creative Biolabs' ELISPOT assay gave us confidence in our data, and the high throughput was a major advantage. - M*k S.
FAQs
What is the minimum sample size required for your ELISPOT assay service?
The minimum sample size required depends on the specific project, but we can typically work with a small number of PBMCs. Please contact our technical support team to discuss the specifics of your study, and we will help you determine the optimal sample size.
How does the ELISPOT assay compare to a standard ELISA?
While both are ELISA-based, the ELISPOT assay is a functional test that measures the frequency of individual cytokine-secreting cells, while ELISA measures the total concentration of a cytokine in a bulk sample. ELISPOT offers significantly higher sensitivity, enabling the detection of rare cell populations that might be missed by ELISA.
