Understanding COVID-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children
11 Apr 2021Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) typically causes milder symptoms in children than in adults. But in rare cases, the virus can produce multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) in association with coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19).
In this article, Olink Proteomics explain the research findings from a detailed comparison study of the immunological features of MIS-C and Kawasaki disease, in which Olink protein biomarker panels were used.

ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.Inflammatory DiseasesCoronavirusCoronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases like COVID-19. Research into the biology, transmission, and treatment of coronaviruses has become a global priority, particularly since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2.
