Human Duffy Blood Group Chemokine Receptor (DARC) ELISA Kit

A quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie for measuring the atypical chemokine receptor DARC (ACKR1), the seven-transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on erythrocytes and vascular endothelium that scavenges pro-inflammatory chemokines and serves as the obligate attachment site for Plasmodium vivax merozoites.

The kit supports in vitro research on inflammation, hematology, and malaria pathogenesis, and works with cell culture-derived lysates as well as biofluid specimens, supporting translational studies of chemokine gradients and red blood cell biology.

Researchers investigating neutrophil trafficking, HIV co-receptor interactions, or benign ethnic neutropenia can apply this assay to track receptor levels across disease states.

The 96-assay plate format provides throughput for cohort screening, and the protocol is configured for research use only. Reagents should be kept refrigerated; aliquot and limit freeze-thaw cycles to preserve binding activity.
