Human TAFA1 PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS1128)

This immunoassay from Assay Genie quantifies human TAFA1, also designated FAM19A1, a small secreted chemokine-like signaling protein belonging to the five-member TAFA family. TAFA1 is expressed predominantly in neurons of the dorsal root ganglion, spinal cord, and certain brain regions, and published studies have linked it to macrophage M2 polarization, suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokine release, and modulation of neuropathic and inflammatory pain pathways. The kit is configured for use with cell culture supernatants and human donor specimens including plasma or serum, making it applicable to experiments involving conditioned media from primary dorsal root ganglion neurons, microglia cultures, glial cell lines, or patient-derived samples. Unopened components should be stored refrigerated as indicated on each vial label, and reconstituted standards and working detection antibody solutions should be kept chilled and used within the recommended shelf life to preserve binding activity.
