Rabbit Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) ELISA Kit

Cardiovascular and lipid metabolism research in rabbit disease models often requires quantitative measurement of Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP), a plasma glycoprotein that mediates the exchange of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between HDL and LDL/VLDL particles. This Assay Genie immunoassay kit is configured for that purpose, providing a research-use-only tool for studying reverse cholesterol transport, atherogenesis, and the effects of pharmacological or dietary interventions on plasma lipid profiles. Because rabbits express CETP at physiologically relevant levels and develop atherosclerotic lesions that closely resemble human disease, they are a preferred translational species for evaluating lipid-lowering compounds and for characterizing transgenic or knockout models.

The kit is supplied as a pack of reagents sufficient for 96 determinations on a microplate and uses a colorimetric readout compatible with standard laboratory plate readers. Serum samples prepared from whole blood collected into anticoagulant-free tubes are recommended; samples should be aliquoted and stored frozen at -80°C, with limited freeze-thaw cycles to preserve CETP integrity. Researchers should refer to the lot-specific certificate of analysis included with each shipment for exact performance characteristics such as analytical sensitivity, dynamic range, and species cross-reactivity, since these parameters are lot-validated and may differ from general catalog specifications.
