Human Histatin 1 (HTN1) ELISA Kit

Histatin 1 is a small histidine-rich salivary peptide secreted by human parotid and submandibular glands, recognized for its potent antifungal activity against Candida species and its contribution to maintaining oral mucosal integrity. This quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie is configured on a standard microplate and is intended for research use only, measuring endogenous HTN1 in tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernatants from human samples.

The kit supports studies in oral biology, dermatology, and innate immunity where investigators probe salivary antimicrobial peptides, wound healing responses, and HTN1 expression in epithelial cell models. Colorimetric readout is captured on a standard plate reader, and reagents are shipped refrigerated to preserve antibody-coated plate stability through the stated shelf life.

Typical applications include quantifying HTN1 release after epithelial challenge, comparing peptide levels in patient-derived saliva or gingival tissue, and tracking recombinant histatin expression in transfected cell lines. Each kit provides all reagents needed for 96 individual determinations, with each run completed using standard laboratory microplate washers and incubators.
