Human Dermcidin (DCD) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie Human Dermcidin (DCD) ELISA Kit enables quantitative measurement of dermcidin, an antimicrobial peptide constitutively secreted by eccrine sweat glands and a key effector of cutaneous innate immunity. Investigators in dermatology research apply this assay to probe dermcidin expression in atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, chronic wounds, and bacterial skin colonization studies, where peptide levels often correlate with barrier integrity and microbial defense.

Each kit ships with a pre-coated microplate, lyophilized standards, biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, wash buffer, and substrate solution in individual vials. Reconstituted reagents should be aliquoted and stored refrigerated to limit freeze-thaw cycles; unopened components remain stable through the printed shelf life. For research use only; in vitro application, not for diagnostic use.
