BD™ Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) Human IL-17A Flex Set

Figure 1. Example BD CBA Human IL-17A Flex Set standard curve. Data acquired on a BD FACSArray bioanalyzer and analyzed using FCAP Array Software.

Recovery: Cell culture supernatant, serum, or EDTA-treated plasma were spiked with three different levels of protein. The spiked samples were assayed and the results were compared with expected values. Serum and plasma samples were diluted 1:4 before the protein was spiked into each. Serum is a pool of 800 - 1000 donors and the plasma was pooled from at least 20 donors.

Reproducibility: The intra-assay and inter-assay reproducibility were determined for the BD CBA Human IL-17A Flex Set by evaluating ten replicates of three different sample levels (intra-assay) and three replicates of three different sample levels from four separate experiments (inter-assay).

Linearity: Cell culture supernatant, 1:4 diluted serum, or 1:4 diluted EDTA-treated plasma were spiked with protein and serially diluted. The diluted samples were assayed and the results were compared with the original spiked sample.
