Human MARCO (Macrophage receptor MARCO) ELISA KIT (HUFI08132)

Macrophage receptor with collagenous structure (MARCO) is a class A scavenger receptor expressed on macrophages and related myeloid cells, where it mediates innate immune recognition of bacterial components and modified self-ligands. The Human MARCO ELISA kit from Assay Genie provides researchers with a quantitative immunoassay for measuring this receptor in human research samples, supporting studies in macrophage biology, pulmonary immunology, and inflammatory disease mechanisms.

Each kit is supplied in a 96 Assays format and includes a pre-coated plate, biotinylated detection reagent, streptavidin-enzyme conjugate, lyophilized standards, wash buffer, and substrate sufficient for one full microplate run. Reconstituted standard material should be aliquoted to minimize freeze-thaw cycles, and the kit components are stored refrigerated until first use. The protocol follows a conventional ELISA workflow with a standard microplate reader, and the kit is labeled for research use only.

Researchers apply this assay to evaluate MARCO expression and shedding in cell culture supernatant, tissue lysates, and clinical research specimens collected under approved study protocols. Typical investigations include biomarker studies of bacterial infection, pulmonary inflammation, and macrophage-driven pathology where MARCO levels serve as an indicator of innate immune activation.
