Rat Defensin Beta 2 (DEFb2) ELISA Kit

For quantitative measurement of rat beta-defensin 2 in laboratory samples, this Assay Genie immunoassay provides a colorimetric workflow suitable for detecting antimicrobial peptide levels in rodent research. Defensin Beta 2 (DEFb2) is a small cationic antimicrobial peptide involved in innate mucosal immunity, and this ELISA kit is used to investigate its expression in rat models of infection, inflammation, and epithelial barrier function.

The kit supplies a 96 assays format with pre-coated microplate wells, biotinylated detection antibody, standards, and streptavidin-HRP conjugate to generate a standard curve for concentration determination. Reconstituted components should be stored at 4°C and protected from light, with multiple freeze-thaw cycles avoided to preserve antibody activity.

Researchers apply this kit in pathogen challenge studies, gut mucosal immunity investigations, and characterization of antimicrobial peptide responses, and it is intended for research use only.
