Chicken Mannose Binding Lectin (MBL) ELISA Kit

MBL is a calcium-dependent serum lectin central to the lectin complement pathway of innate immunity, opsonizing mannose-rich microbial surfaces and activating MASP-associated protease cascades. This chicken-specific assay from Assay Genie supports research into avian resistance to bacterial and viral challenge, vaccine response profiling, and inherited MBL deficiency models relevant to poultry breeding and pathogen susceptibility studies. The microplate is pre-coated with a chicken MBL capture antibody and uses a biotinylated detection reagent for quantitative readout. Researchers should bring all reagents to room temperature before running the protocol, aliquot stock reagents to limit freeze-thaw cycles, and protect the substrate from light. Intended for research use only in in vitro laboratory workflows, this kit specifically detects chicken Mannose Binding Lectin and shows no significant cross-reactivity with mammalian MBL homologs, enabling clean discrimination in comparative immunology studies. The kit supports a 50 uL sample volume per well.
