Monkey Transforming Growth Factor Alpha (TGFa) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie Monkey TGFα ELISA Kit supports quantitative measurement of transforming growth factor alpha in non-human primate biological samples using a two-antibody ELISA format on a standard microplate. The assay specifically detects cynomolgus and rhesus macaque TGFα, with no significant cross-reactivity reported with other EGF-family ligands. TGFα is a 50 amino acid EGF-family ligand that signals through the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) to regulate epithelial cell proliferation, mucosal maintenance, and wound repair, and it is frequently profiled in primate models of colorectal, pancreatic, and hepatocellular carcinogenesis, gastrointestinal mucositis, hair follicle cycling, and placental development. The kit is intended for in vitro research use only and includes pre-coated plate, detection reagents, standards, and wash buffer sufficient for 96 assays; store reagents refrigerated at 4°C and protect the substrate from light. Researchers working with macaque serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates can use this assay to monitor circulating TGFα concentrations across longitudinal oncology, toxicology, and reproductive biology studies.
