Mouse Defensin Alpha 1, Neutrophil (DEFa1) ELISA Kit

Quantifies murine alpha-defensin 1, a small cationic antimicrobial peptide secreted primarily by neutrophils during innate immune responses. The peptide disrupts microbial membranes and contributes to mucosal and systemic host defense, with altered circulating concentrations documented in mouse models of bacterial infection, inflammatory bowel disease, and acute lung injury. Investigators studying neutrophil biology, mucosal immunity, sepsis, or chronic inflammation use the kit to track peptide concentrations across experimental cohorts and time points.

Specimens prepared from mouse sources, including serum and tissue homogenates, are compatible with the assay, supporting work in immunology, infectious disease, and inflammation research. Each kit from Assay Genie supplies reagents sufficient for 96 assays arranged in a microplate format, allowing standards, controls, and experimental samples to be measured together. Reconstituted reagents and prepared plates should be handled according to the storage conditions printed on the product insert, and the assay is intended for research use only.
