Bovine Lactoferrin (LTF) ELISA Kit

Quantitative measurement of bovine lactoferrin across research-relevant sample types is supported by this immunoassay kit from Assay Genie, supplied in a 96-assay microplate format. Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein of the transferrin family with roles in innate immunity, antimicrobial activity, and modulation of inflammation, so quantifying it is relevant to dairy science, mastitis research, colostrum quality assessment, and mucosal immunity studies in cattle.

The kit is intended for in vitro research use only and contains all reagents required to run the assay. Compatible matrices include blood fractions, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, saliva, milk, and cell culture supernatants. After the enzymatic reaction, absorbance is recorded on a standard microplate reader and lactoferrin concentrations are interpolated from a standard curve prepared from the kit's reference standards.

The assay detects bovine lactoferrin specifically, supporting studies of udder health in dairy cows, evaluation of milk and whey protein fractions, characterization of mucosal immune responses in calves, and investigation of antimicrobial peptide activity in bovine systems. Researchers working on iron metabolism, mammary gland inflammation, or inflammatory biomarkers in cattle can use this reagent for longitudinal and comparative studies.
