Rat GFAP (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein) ELISA Kit (RTES00998)

For quantitative detection of rat GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein), this colorimetric sandwich ELISA from Assay Genie is designed for serum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids. The manufacturer lists its research areas as cancer, neuroscience, signal transduction and stem cells.

Manufacturer-listed performance specifications include a sensitivity of "0.19 ng/mL", a detection range of "0.31-20 ng/mL" and recovery of "80%-120%". The listed assay time is "3 h 30 min".

The kit recognizes rat GFAP, with no significant cross-reactivity or interference between rat GFAP and analogues reported by the manufacturer. GFAP is a key protein found in astrocytes, the most abundant cells in the central nervous system, and changes in GFAP levels are associated with traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis.
