Cytokines are a class of small molecular proteins with a wide range of biological activities that are synthesized and secreted by immune cells and some non-immune cells upon stimulation. Many cytokines promote or restrict each other in goats, forming an extremely complex immune regulatory network. Under certain conditions, cytokines are related to the occurrence of various goat diseases, such as schistosomiasis, helminth infection, herpes virus infection and so on. Therefore, various goat diseases can be diagnosed by detecting the changes of cytokines in goats, and reasonable measures can be taken to control and treat them.

Caprine Cytokine Antibodies
In recent years, the economic value of goats has become increasingly evident because of their ability to efficiently convert low-quality feed into high-quality meat, dairy and leather products. As a result, goats are being farmed in large numbers worldwide. With the continuous increase in the number of goats, various goat-related infectious diseases are also widely prevalent. If these diseases are not treated in time, they will affect the meat and milk quality of goats and even cause the death of a large number of goats, resulting in huge economic losses to the livestock industry. Currently, researchers have developed a variety of antibodies against goat cytokines for the diagnosis of goat diseases, which are used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, flow cytometry, immunohistology - cryopreservation, protein blotting and other assays.
BioVenic has an advanced antibody R&D platform and professional technicians. We are committed to providing you with reliable diagnostic reagents for different animals. We can provide customers with a series of antibodies for the detection of caprine cytokines to help customers better assess the health status of caprine. If you have any needs, please feel free to contact us. We will provide you with high-quality products according to your needs. Our products mainly use immunological methods to detect cytokines. The basic principle is to use cytokines as antigens for quantitative detection.
