Rat Cardiotrophin Like Cytokine Factor 1 (CLCF1) ELISA Kit

Quantify Cardiotrophin-Like Cytokine Factor 1 (CLCF1) in rat research specimens with this immunoassay kit from Assay Genie, configured as 96 assays in a microplate format.

CLCF1, also called NNT-1 or CLC, belongs to the IL-6 cytokine family and circulates as a heterodimer paired with cytokine receptor-like factor 1 (CRLF1). Receptor engagement drives JAK/STAT signal transduction and downstream effects on cholinergic neuron survival, B-cell maturation, and osteoblast activity, which is why CLCF1 concentrations are tracked across neuroscience, immunology, and bone-metabolism studies in rodent models.

Prepared standards and biological samples are added to the pre-coated plate; after incubation and washing, a detection antibody and substrate generate an absorbance signal proportional to CLCF1 levels. The assay is performed in vitro and is intended for research use only, not diagnostic or therapeutic applications.

Storage guidance: keep unopened components refrigerated; protect substrate and chromogen reagents from light. Reconstituted material should be aliquoted to limit freeze-thaw cycles, and the kit is shipped in vials with a printed shelf-life on the outer label.
