Human PLUNC PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS1000)

PLUNC (Palate Lung Nasal Epithelium Clone), also referred to as SPLUNC1 and BPIFA1, is a secreted innate defense protein expressed in the upper respiratory and nasal epithelium. The Assay Genie Human PLUNC PharmaGenie ELISA Kit is configured as a 96-assay immunoassay kit built around colorimetric readout and is validated for the quantitative measurement of human PLUNC in cell culture supernatants, plasma, and serum samples.

PLUNC has emerged as a biomarker of interest in respiratory research, including investigations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis airway inflammation, chronic rhinosinusitis, and non-small cell lung cancer, where altered expression levels in patient samples have been reported. Researchers studying airway mucosal immunity, host-pathogen interactions in the lung, and epithelial secretory function can use this ELISA to quantify PLUNC concentrations across matched biological sample sets.

The kit format from Assay Genie supports standard laboratory ELISA workflows and provides reagents for 96 individual determinations, with sample compatibility across cell culture supernatant, plasma, and serum. The colorimetric approach delivers an accessible workflow for laboratories equipped with a standard microplate reader capable of measuring absorbance in the visible range.
