Human Lactoferrin (LTF) ELISA Kit

An immunoassay kit from Assay Genie for quantitative measurement of human lactoferrin (LTF), an approximately 80 kDa iron-binding glycoprotein of the transferrin family, in research samples. The assay supports investigations into innate immunity, neutrophil biology, mucosal defense, iron homeostasis, and inflammation-related pathways where LTF serves as a biomarker of granulocyte activation and epithelial secretion.

Lactoferrin is released from secondary granules of neutrophils and secreted by mammary and mucosal epithelial cells, contributing to host defense through iron sequestration, antibacterial activity, and modulation of inflammatory responses. Researchers commonly deploy this kit in studies of neonatal immunity involving breast milk, gastrointestinal inflammation, oral and pulmonary mucosal research, and characterization of recombinant LTF preparations.

Supplied with the components needed to run a microplate-based protocol, the assay accommodates cell culture samples, tissue extracts, cell lysates, and other human-derived specimens including serum or plasma. For research use only.
