Rabbit Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) ELISA Kit

CCN2, also called Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF), is a cysteine-rich matricellular protein of approximately 38 kDa central to extracellular matrix deposition, fibroblast activation, and angiogenic signaling. Quantifying CTGF in rabbit models is foundational to preclinical fibrosis research, spanning diabetic nephropathy, hepatic stellate cell activation, cardiac interstitial remodeling after ischemic injury, bleomycin-induced pulmonary scarring, and dermal wound repair studies.

Built around a pre-coated microplate and matched antibody pairs calibrated to recombinant rabbit CTGF, the Assay Genie kit supports reproducible detection of endogenous ligand across harvested tissue lysates, cell culture supernatant fractions, and rabbit-derived serum or plasma specimens. Lyophilized standards and detection reagent are reconstituted before use, and components should be stored refrigerated between runs to preserve antibody binding activity.

Sufficient reagents are included for 96 determinations, with each kit shipped in temperature-controlled packaging and intended for research use only, not for clinical diagnostic procedures. The workflow follows standard ELISA methodology with a chromogenic substrate and absorbance readout on a conventional plate reader, generating values proportional to CTGF concentration that can be interpolated from the supplied standard curve.
