Rat Cannabinoid Receptor 2, Macrophage (CNR2) ELISA Kit

Built for neuroscience and immunology research laboratories, this quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie enables accurate measurement of Cannabinoid Receptor 2 (CNR2) protein in rat-derived samples. CNR2, also referred to as the CB2 receptor, belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor family and is predominantly expressed on macrophages, microglia, and other immune cell populations, where it mediates anti-inflammatory signalling and immune cell migration.

The kit accommodates tissue homogenates and cell lysates, making it applicable to experiments profiling peripheral immune tissues, spleen, brain regions, and cultured macrophage or microglial cell lines. Researchers investigating neuroinflammation, chronic pain pathways, addiction biology, or peripheral inflammatory disorders use CNR2 quantification to track receptor expression changes following pharmacological treatment or genetic manipulation.

Each package contains reagents for 96 individual assays and follows a standard plate-based protocol producing a measurable chromogenic signal read on a conventional microplate reader. The rat-specific reactivity supports studies in common laboratory rat backgrounds, and the assay is intended for research use only in vitro applications.
