    摘要: Methods and compositions for detecting and quantifying cytokines are provided. The disclosed assays have reduced assay interference relative to commercially available assays and/or a control assay. The interference can be cytokine dependent, cytokine independent, or both. One embodiment provides an IL-33 immunoassay that reduces assay interference caused by endogenous soluble IL-33 binding molecules present in the sample. Exemplary soluble IL-33 binding molecules include, but are not limited to anti-IL-33 antibodies, soluble ST2 receptor, and serum components. In some embodiments a blocking agent is added to the sample to reduce, inhibit, or block IL-33 complexes in the sample from reforming after acid dissociation of the IL-33 complexes in the sample. In one embodiment, the blocking agent and the detection reagent do not compete for binding to IL-33.
