Rat Defensin Beta 1 (DEFb1) ELISA Kit

Beta-defensin 1 is a small cationic antimicrobial peptide secreted by epithelial cells and serves as a key effector of mucosal innate immunity in rats, contributing to host defense at barrier surfaces including the respiratory tract, oral cavity, gastrointestinal lining, urinary tract, and epidermis. The Assay Genie Rat Defensin Beta 1 (DEFb1) ELISA Kit is a quantitative enzyme immunoassay developed to measure this biomarker in experimentally derived rat specimens, supporting research into bacterial infection, mucosal inflammation, epithelial barrier integrity, and host-pathogen interactions.

Each kit is configured for 96 individual assays and employs a colorimetric readout compatible with standard microplate instrumentation. The pack includes pre-coated wells, detection antibody, standard, wash buffer, and substrate solution, providing all components required to generate a standard curve and quantify endogenous DEFb1 concentrations. Researchers studying rodent models of infectious disease, innate immune activation, or antimicrobial peptide expression apply this assay in immunology, inflammation, and barrier-function workflows, and the product is designated for research use only.
