Interleukin-10, Plasma
Also known as: IL-10, IL10
Use
This test is used for the measurement of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels in plasma.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The test measures IL-10 but is not FDA cleared or approved. Results might vary based on the sample handling and storage conditions. As IL-10 can affect different cell types variably, it may have pleiotropic effects contributing to complexities in interpreting its role across different medical conditions. Stability under different storage conditions should be considered, and care should be taken with repeat testing due to minimum volume constraints.
