Mouse Defensin Beta 1 (DEFb1) ELISA Kit

Mouse beta-defensin 1 (mBD-1) is a small cationic antimicrobial peptide constitutively expressed across respiratory, urinary, and gastrointestinal epithelia, where it contributes to innate defense against bacterial and fungal colonization. The Assay Genie Mouse Defensin Beta 1 (DEFb1) ELISA Kit quantifies this peptide for laboratory research into host defense mechanisms, infection model characterization, and epithelial barrier function.

This species-specific assay, validated for murine samples only, delivers absorbance-based readouts through a plate-based workflow, supporting reproducible analysis of tissue and fluid specimens collected from laboratory animals. Researchers apply the kit across studies of mucosal immunity, pathogen challenge experiments, and inflammation models.

The immunoassay reagents arrive ready to run, accommodating both individual-sample testing and small-cohort study designs in translational programs that use rodent models to investigate mammalian antimicrobial peptide biology.
