Mouse Cathepsin S/CTSS ELISA Kit

Cathepsin S (CTSS), a lysosomal cysteine protease, participates in extracellular matrix turnover, MHC class II antigen presentation, atherosclerotic plaque remodeling, tumor cell invasion, and chronic inflammatory signaling. Quantitative measurement of CTSS from laboratory mouse specimens supports cardiovascular, oncology, immunology, and autoimmune disease research programs.

The Mouse Cathepsin S/CTSS ELISA Kit from Assay Genie delivers a 96 Assays immunoassay workflow with pre-coated microplate wells, lyophilized reference standards, biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, wash buffer, substrate solution, and stop reagent. Researchers studying elastin degradation, plaque instability, cancer metastasis, or cytokine-driven inflammation can integrate the kit into longitudinal preclinical protocols where repeat sampling from individual animals is required.

Mouse serum specimens and EDTA plasma are accepted sample matrices for the CTSS quantification workflow. Absorbance is read on a standard microplate reader, and standard curve generation follows the protocol provided with each kit. Reagent storage conditions, working dilutions, and incubation times are documented in the kit insert, and the product is intended for research use only.
