Measuring cytokines in Eurasian tundra reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) with a bovine bead-based multiplex immunoassay and real-time PCR
This study shows the potential of the bovine bead-based multiplex immunoassay for measuring IL-10, IL-17, TNF-α, and IFN-γ concentrations in reindeer. The qPCR is suitable for measuring gene expression of these cytokines and IL-8. These methods may be used to characterise immune responses in reindeer, but further testing and validation are warranted.
