Human BPI fold-containing family A member 2 (BPIFA2) ELISA Kit

A secreted glycoprotein of the BPI/LBP/PLUNC superfamily, human BPIFA2 is expressed in mucosal epithelia of the salivary glands and upper respiratory tract, where it contributes to innate host defense at epithelial barrier surfaces. This Assay Genie immunoassay kit provides quantitative measurement of BPIFA2 in human research specimens using a colorimetric readout on a standard microplate reader.

Investigations into chronic respiratory disease, cystic fibrosis, oral inflammatory conditions, salivary gland dysfunction, and airway epithelial defense rely on BPIFA2 quantification as a biomarker of mucosal barrier integrity. The kit is intended for in vitro research use only, and laboratories studying host-pathogen interactions in the nasopharyngeal and oral environments can apply it for longitudinal profiling of biofluid samples.

Each package supplies reagents for 96 determinations in a microplate format, including a pre-coated plate, biotinylated detection antibody, recombinant standard, and substrate solution. Reconstituted components should be stored refrigerated according to the included protocol, and long-term preservation of working aliquots is typically achieved by freezing to limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
