Rat Cadherin, Epithelial (CDHE) ELISA Kit

For research on epithelial cell adhesion and tumor biology, this quantitative immunoassay measures E-cadherin (CDHE) in rat specimens using an absorbance-based readout. The epithelial cadherin is a calcium-dependent transmembrane glycoprotein that maintains adherens junction integrity, and altered CDHE expression is a hallmark of epithelial-mesenchymal transition that is widely tracked in carcinoma invasion studies.

The kit supports CDHE profiling across diverse rat-derived matrices, including detergent-lysed cell preparations, fresh-frozen tissue homogenates, conditioned media from cultured monolayers, and individual serum or plasma specimens collected under varied preparation protocols. Researchers studying tissue barrier function, cancer metastasis, developmental morphogenesis, and inflammatory epithelial damage apply the assay to compare CDHE levels between treatment cohorts, genetically modified animals, or longitudinal sampling time points.

Assay Genie supplies pre-coated microplate strips, lyophilized recombinant standards, biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, wash buffer concentrate, and substrate solution. Reagents are sufficient to complete a 96-assay microplate run and are intended for research use only, not validated for diagnostic procedures. Store kit components as labeled on receipt, aliquot working antibody dilutions before use, and protect reconstituted standards from repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve calibration curves.
