Rat SP-D(Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein D) ELISA Kit

The RAT SP-D (Pulmonary Surfactant-Associated Protein D) ELISA Kit is a highly sensitive and specific assay designed for the quantitative measurement of SP-D in rat serum, plasma, and other biological fluids. This kit is based on the sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) principle, which utilizes two specific antibodies that recognize different epitopes of SP-D. The capture antibody is coated onto the microplate wells, while the detection antibody is conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The assay is easy to perform, with a total assay time of approximately 3 hours.

The RAT SP-D ELISA Kit has a detection range of 0.156-10 ng/mL, with a sensitivity of 0.078 ng/mL. The kit has been validated for use with rat samples, and has been shown to have excellent intra- and inter-assay precision and accuracy. The kit includes all necessary reagents and controls, including a standard curve, positive and negative controls, and sample diluent. The kit is also compatible with a variety of sample types, including serum, plasma, and other biological fluids.

SP-D is a member of the collectin family of proteins, which are involved in innate immune defense and surfactant homeostasis in the lung. SP-D has been implicated in a variety of respiratory diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and interstitial lung disease (ILD). The RAT SP-D ELISA Kit provides a valuable tool for researchers studying the role of SP-D in these and other respiratory diseases, as well as for those investigating the basic biology of SP-D in the lung.
