title: Assays for lymphokines, cytokines and their receptors.
abstract: There have been several recent developments in the detection of cytokines, their receptors, and the genes that encode them. New methods for characterizing cytokines and lymphokines include the use of molecular hybridization techniques, bioassays and antibody-mediated detection systems. The most common techniques used for identifying and characterizing cytokine receptors rely upon the use of radiolabeled, fluoresceinated or biotinylated ligands.
