Figure 1.
Mean difference dot plots of IL-10 and IL-2 cytokines for each kit tested.
A) IL-10 and B) IL-2 disagreement plots show the difference between the duplicates against the geometric mean of both values of a sample tested with eBioscience® FlowCytomix™ (FlowCytomix), Millipore™ MILLIPLEX® MAP Plex Kit (Millipore), Bio-Rad® Bio-Plex Pro™ Human Cytokine Plex Assay (Bio-Rad), Invitrogen™ Human Cytokine Magnetic 30-Plex Panel (INV-MAG) and BD™ Cytometric Bead Array Human Enhanced Sensitivity kit (BD CBA). The middle line is the mean difference and the two extreme lines are the limits of agreement (values are truncated to the first decimal) calculated by Bland-Altman test.
