Chicken Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) ELISA Kit

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) is a 28-amino acid neuropeptide expressed in chicken gastrointestinal, neural, and lymphoid tissues, where it influences vasodilation, smooth-muscle relaxation, and mucosal immune responses. Assay Genie's chicken-reactive sandwich ELISA quantifies endogenous VIP across avian serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell-culture supernatants, supporting studies in poultry reproductive biology, gut-brain axis signaling, and neuroimmunology. The microplate format uses a 50 uL sample volume per well with detection range 15.6 to 1000 pg/mL and sensitivity approximately 9.375 pg/mL, calibrated for research use only workflows. Investigators probing circadian patterns, stress-induced GI inflammation, or hypothalamic regulation in avian models can pair this assay with western blot or PCR readouts. Each kit is supplied in a sealed foil pouch containing pre-coated well plate strips, lyophilized standards, biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, and wash buffer sufficient for 96 assays; store refrigerated at 2 to 8 degrees C, protect from light, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles once reconstituted.
